This week’s guest is Laura Erickson, talking about her brilliant book the Love Lives of Birds. Find out why some birds mate for life whilst others play the field, why some value age and experience, which birds lay their eggs in other bird’s nests and which stash their young in riverbanks and why there’s so much dancing involved!

This episode is brought to you The Seed Sistas, who have been community herbalists for over 20 years. Their work took a turn last March and they converted their passion for plants, people and the planet into an online course called the Pathway to Peace. It is an engaging Seven-day immersive journey with lots of wonderful content. If you suffer from stress or anxiety this course may well be able to offer you connection to herbs and tools for stress management, better sleep and nourishment for your nervous system. The next course starts again on April 28th.
What we talk about:
Why bird courtships so varied and whether there’s any correlation between courtship patterns and life span/size/habitat
Why there’s so much dancing involved
The issue of age and its relevance when finding a partner
Nest parasites and why they steal other birds’ nests
Kingfishers and where they nest
The need for privacy when mating
Why some birds mate for life whilst others can have multiple mates in a breeding season
