In this episode of That Quirky Bird Girl, Steph (I) sit down with Christine Mott, animal law attorney, advocate, and author of Free Bird. Together, we dive into the incredible true story of Flaco the owl, whose escape from the Central Park Zoo captured hearts everywhere, and the powerful message his journey holds about resilience, freedom, and compassion.

Christine shares how her passion for storytelling and her work in animal law come together to inspire empathy, encourage young readers, and push for a kinder world for animals. This episode is part bird lore, part advocacy, and a whole lot of heart.✨ Learn more about Christine’s work here: https://www.christinemott.com/Grab a copy of Free Bird on Amazon: https://lanternpm.org/book/free-bird/
