We 
were delighted to hold a Festival of Birds at Cheney School on Tuesday 4th February, 3 - 5pm.
The event was the first of a series of events celebrating the nature around us, as we began an extended series of miniature events.
There were a range of bird-themed information and activity stalls, including scientific, artistic, craft and storytelling explorations and celebrations of the birds around us. There were also refreshments available and a live bird display.
Visitors were able to find out about the birds around us, and how they inspired ancient myths, stories, art and more through the ages. There were a number of local scientists and artists talking about how their work has been inspired by birds.
We also displayed prints of birds from magical realist, bird-themed novel The Birder, set in Oxford, and written by Rumble Museum director Lorna Robinson.
