Happy with a dead sparrow - Begijn Le Bleu

About the eagle of the gutter. Yes, Begijn's new show is about... the house sparrow! This little bird has a surprising history that will amaze you. As soon as agriculture appeared in the Middle East, this clever rascal literally grabbed a grain and thus conquered the whole world. The world journey of this inconspicuous little bird reads like a compelling adventure novel full of facts. From the rise and fall of this unremarkable survivor to a piece of national history, a leap to the China van Mao and a trip to the African steppes. Folkduo Naragonia - winner of the award for best live band, Flanders Folk Awards - provides their quirky music. Begijn's love for birds resonates in everything he does: from his successful bird podcast and magazine 'Fwiet!' to his show 'Kijk!' and his contributions as a scientist on Radio 2 and Joe.
