"The simple portrait photography on the set presents the birds' elegant, brilliantly colored feathers, from which you can get a glimpse of the different personalities of these birds, one is a solemn and serious appearance, and the other seems to show a cunning smile." Pictured here is the Superb Fruit Dove

When Jeffreys was a child, her father taught her how to treat and help injured birds and release them into nature, an experience that gave her a deep understanding and emotional experience of wildlife that she now seems to capture when photographing birds.

"As a child, I was exposed to a lot of animals, and I saw them as the same creatures as me, and I developed a deep relationship with them. I want to remind you through these images that these little creatures share this planet with us, that they are like us running for food and livelihood every day, raising their children, defending their territory, playing and singing, and letting them have a wild home is our responsibility. ”
