An all-time banger of a poem by the great Seamus Heaney. Stop scrolling; take your time with it.

'Walls and Fields, Halifax,' (1928) was painted from Stanley Spencer's brother-in-law George Carline's house in Warley, a village on the outskirts of Halifax in Yorkshire. Despite the work's accuracy, Spencer wrote that he had no wish to fully replicate what was in front of him.

One of the giants of Windsor Castle’s Royal Library: John James Audubon’s Birds of America.

4 volumes, 435 hand-coloured, life-size bird prints—so big they were made on rare “Double Elephant” paper.

It is a known fact that oak trees walk to rivers overnight when they are really thirsty 🥵🌳

Ever seen a tree walking during the day? Exactly

This Roman perfume bottle shaped like a bird is 2,000 years old, yet it looks like a modern design!

To use the perfume, its owner would crack the bird’s tail.
