It’s not just about the birds; it's about his connection to nature, the challenges he faces, and the cultural backdrop that shapes his world. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing you to soak in the stunning visuals and the rhythms of life there. You can feel the seasons changing, and that really adds to the atmosphere of the piece.
