In this special episode, I’m joined by the incredibly multi-talented Romaine—a filmmaker, director, editor, writer, and actor—for my very first live bird tour episode! We take a walk through Central Park (yes, there were birds!) and talk about creativity, passion, and the birds that connect our worlds—both here in New York City and in his home country of France.

Romaine shares his story as a creative force, how his journey has evolved through video games and film, and how he’s constantly challenging the world around him with his art. We also get into some fun bird comparisons (spoiler: French birds have just as much attitude), and what it’s like to be inspired by nature even in a city full of chaos.

This episode isn’t just about birds—it’s about following your passion, staying curious, and seeing the world through a more intentional, creative lens. And if you’ve been curious about what one of my bird tours is like, this episode gives you a glimpse.

A neurodivergent love story

Some people have defining moments in life that come full circle. For me? It’s always been birds and language. Every major shift, every heartbreak, every season of growth—birds have been there. And so has my love for words, specifically Spanish and Italian.

In this episode, I get vulnerable about how birds shaped my relationship with language, how they helped me process emotions before I even had the words, and why my neurodivergent brain just clicks with both birds and linguistics. I share how every chapter of my life seems to loop back to these two constants and how bird colors, sounds, and behaviors literally helped me learn new languages.

From the Northern Cardinal reminding me of my own boldness to the gentle, grounding presence of American Robins, birds have always had a way of making me feel understood.

If you’ve ever felt deeply connected to something that just makes sense to you, or if you’re curious how birds can actually help someone learn a new language (yes, really), then come sit with me for a bit. This episode is for us—the ones who see and dream the world a little differently.

In this episode of That Quirky Bird Girl, we kick off our journey into The Genius of Birds by Jennifer Ackerman—but with a twist. As we explore how birds challenge our understanding of their brains and what they're capable of, I couldn’t help but ask… are we underestimating ourselves too?

I dive into the key themes from the introduction, reflecting on how birds have shaped my perspective, supported my self-growth, and even mirrored my own neurodivergent journey. This episode is part science, part self-discovery, and a whole lot of bird love.

And this is just the beginning! I’ll be continuing this series with Chapter 1 next, so stay tuned. If you want me to tag you when that episode drops, let me know in the comments!

This episode is about more than just spotting birds; it’s about finding our place in nature, sharing our “why” for loving and protecting our feathered friends, and letting go of the fear of what others think. The Central Park landscape here in New York City provides the perfect backdrop for exploring how birds can help us grow, connect, and discover joy TOGETHER—right in the middle of the best and brightest city in the world.

Join me for a walk through my urban oasis, as we celebrate the birds, our shared love for them, and what we can all do to keep their songs alive—one bird and one moment at a time.
