What’s better, holding onto what you’ve got or risking it for something shinier? In this episode of the Wordplay podcast, we unpick “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” diving into falconry origins, human greed, and why we keep gambling with what’s right in front of us. Expect talk of Lego Star Wars, diseased birds, and the uncomfortable truth that nothing is really forever, no matter how much we try to hold on. It’s part philosophy, part chaos, and fully feathered.
