Ray's Birds

About This Movie

So, 'Ray's Birds' is this quirky little documentary that dives into the life of Ray Lowden, who’s got this amazing setup with his birds of prey and a few other critters in Northumberland. The pacing is pretty relaxed, almost meditative, as we get these intimate glimpses into Ray’s daily life. The film captures his affection for each bird, showcasing their personalities—some are just outright stubborn. It kind of feels like a tribute to both the majesty of these animals and Ray's dedication. The practical effects are all in the natural interactions, nothing flashy here, just raw and heartfelt moments. It's nice to see a slice of life that's not about grandeur but rather the simple joys and challenges of caring for such a unique menagerie.
