On a quiet summer afternoon, a dove’s flight stirred a dam of memories - and with it, romantic reminiscences of watching, wondering, and wandering alongside birds.

From city skylines to forest canopies, this anthology celebrates avian inspiration in the most unexpected ways. Whether it’s the zesty fork-tailed drongo or the colours of a Himalayan sunbird, these poems trace the quiet wisdom and wild joy of our feathered companions - a love letter to birds, and the moments they give us when we choose to look up.
