Love is for the Birds! In this episode, we explore the fascinating (and feathered) origins of Valentine’s Day. Long before Hallmark, medieval poets and BIRDS played a role in shaping this holiday of love.

From Chaucer’s Parliament of Fowls to the first handwritten valentines and the rise of mass-produced cards, discover how nature, animals, poetry, history, and tradition intertwined to create the celebration we know today.

Plus, a special thank-you to Plaine Products for sponsoring this episode! Tune in for a story of love, poetry, and—of course—birds.
