‘These life-lessons from a hawk have proved transformative. I love exploring her world through words and pictures. She is my spirit-guide, teacher, soul-companion.’

The book cover for "Be More Bird" by Candida Meyrick. It features a detailed, realistic illustration of a hawk landing on a branch with its wings spread wide against a textured, light grey background. The cover includes a quote from Paul Theroux and the handwritten subtitle "life-lessons from a hawk".

Be More Bird: Life Lessons
from a Hawk

29th of January 2026

Exploring the wild threads that connect us to nature, story, and self.

Four Paths, One Journey

A Creative Life

My work is woven from four distinct yet interconnected threads: the narrative world of an author, the visual language of an artist, the primal connection of a falconer, and the innovative spirit of an entrepreneur. Each discipline informs and enriches the others.

Explore these passions below.
