Bird Brain is a podcast about bird characters from popular culture and their counterparts in the natural world. Expect ratings on the anthropomorphic interpretations, anecdotes, ornithologist guests and appearances from my Fairy Godson, Elliott, aged 10. Each episode will explore pressing questions like: What type of bird is Big Bird? Would pigeon post have been more appropriate than owl post? And, has there ever really been a vampire duck?
