Coffee Break Collection 035 - Birds

Twenty short pieces, each fifteen minutes or less, all orbiting the world of birds. This LibriVox collection gathers fiction, poetry, and non-fiction that celebrates our feathered companions in their infinite variety: the patient birdwatcher at dawn, the devoted owner training a parrot to speak, the ancient wonder of migratory paths spanning continents, and the fantasy writer conjuring creatures of sky and myth. Some pieces are tender, others are curious, and a few simply linger on the strange beauty of a bird in flight. What binds them is their brevity and their shared attention to creatures that have haunted human imagination since we first looked up. Each selection is read by a different volunteer voice, lending the collection the warm, unpolished charm of a community of readers who care about small things done well. Slip this on during your morning commute or your afternoon pause. It is designed for exactly this: the pause between one task and the next, when you want something alive and brief.
