Paradisebirds: Anna Nelly Casey -2021-

Birdwatching, or birding, is a rapidly growing hobby that offers a unique blend of adventure, science, and conservation. As Anna Nelly Casey explains, "Birdwatching is not just about spotting birds; it's about immersing yourself in nature, understanding ecosystems, and appreciating the intricate relationships between species."

The title stems from an early‑day sketchbook entry where Casey imagined a species of birds that lived in a utopic garden—one that never wilted, where each feather shimmered with a different hue of light. The metaphor of a “bird of paradise” (the real flower) evolved into an emblem of yearning for a place of emotional equilibrium: a space where heartbreak and joy could coexist, reflected in both the music and its lyrical narratives.
