This week on Bird Brain, I’m live from Global Birdfair 2025, joined by ecologist Naomi Davis, my first non-binary guest on the pod! Together we dive into the iconic flock of chickens from Chicken Run, that stop-motion classic once pitched as “The Great Escape with Chickens.”We cover everything from the genius of the word “wazzock” and why it matters , to the way internalised misogyny shapes how we read characters like Mac. Along the way, we explore how films like Chicken Run can both reinforce and subvert cultural ideas about birds, gender, and freedom.If you love your bird chat with a mix of cinema, social insight, and a touch of clay-feathered rebellion, this one’s for you.Follow Naomi here:https://www.instagram.com/naturnaomi?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==
