Lucca Amorim, Early Soloist (ANIMALS 2023)

Awakened by the rising sun, a male Eastern Spinebill ascends to a nearby tree in the coastal forest while chirping softly. The trees sway with the oceanic wind as he looks around, making him grasp the tree and move with it. Spotting a nearby flower, it then prepares to descend to consume its sweet nectar.
