Flamingos who went from eccentric chefs to food-truck owners; barn owls receiving awards from farmers for protecting their fields from rodents; nightingales longing for their former artistic glory; ambelopoulia making spectacular escapes from the traps of cunning humans; and many more original stories starring the birds of Cyprus.
Through 21 comic strips, humour takes centre stage while highlighting the urgent need to protect some of the most spectacular creatures on our planet.
Because birds owe us nothing. On the contrary, in this story, we are the ones in debt, responsible for returning the environmental heritage entrusted to us. After all, it does not belong to us: we have only borrowed it.
