Hannah is an author and conservationist. Her nature memoir Fledgling, published in spring 2022 went globally viral thanks to a national newspaper headline “I let a baby bird nest in my hair for 84 days.” Fledgling tells the true story of how Hannah rescued, hand raised and released two wild birds, a swift, and a finch. Her loyalty to these individual birds motivated her to act for the birds she loves the most.

She is head over heels in love with birds, especially swifts. Her Feather Speech campaign was to show that we can make a difference and that passion is a superpower. The environmental crisis feels overwhelming and is often a divisive and negative subject but The Feather Speech campaign is hopeful because if we work as a team for these birds, we can make a positive difference.
