About The Author

Matt Owens

Matt Owens lives with his cat Mogli on the Awhitu Peninsula in the Manukau Harbour, Auckland. A volunteer firefighter, Matt is trained to rescue, but he never expected to be rescuing birds. This bird whisperer has now rescued three vulnerable magpies, Swoop and Niwa, and a pair of muscovy ducks have also joined his tribe. Matt believes his feathered friends are an example of the universe sharing its magic with him. Already an internet sensation, Matt decided to write about Swoop and Mogli’s story of friendship after seeing a portrait of Swoop and realising that she had already chosen her own illustrator.
