The Bird Who Lost Its Song: Where Little Ears go on Big Adventures

Dedicated to the voices that refuse to be lost.

Deep in the heart of an Australian forest, where golden sunlight filters through the trees, lives Renny, a regent honeyeater with feathers as dazzling as the morning sun. But Renny has a problem—he cannot sing.

All the other birds have their own beautiful songs. The bellbirds chime like tiny silver bells, the kookaburras fill the air with laughter, and the wise old lyrebird can copy any sound he hears. But no matter how hard Renny tries, his song is missing.

Determined to find it, Renny sets off on a journey through the forest. He listens, he learns, and he searches for the music that once belonged to birds like him. But where do lost songs go?

Then, Renny meets Tilly, an elderly regent honeyeater who remembers things others have forgotten. She shares a secret—a whisper of something long ago, a sound carried on the wind.

And in that moment, everything begins to change.
