Birds are the most popular group in the animal kingdom. We feed them and tame them and think we know them. And yet they inhabit a world which is really rather mysterious.

I'm not an animal lover if that means you think things are nice if you can pat them, but I am intoxicated by animals.

They didn't tame the monster. All they did is feed it a little.

People are not going to care about animal conservation unless they think that animals are worthwhile.

Everyone likes birds. What wild creature is more accessible to our eyes and ears, as close to us and everyone in the world, as universal as a bird?

The process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the animal knowing you are there, so you get glimpses of a non-human world, and that is a transporting thing.
