This season, Dr. Deja Perkins talks with innovators, researchers, and conservation leaders about small ideas that sparked big breakthroughs for birds and the ecosystems they call home. From international bird tourism and searches for long-lost species to protecting land from AI development and exploring the cultural significance of hummingbirds, we’ll meet people from all walks of life who are finding creative new ways to cherish, protect, and bring birds back. There’s a whole lot to discover—and even more to look forward to. Join us every week, and turn those notifications on!
