The Other Taylor Swift

The Other Taylor Swift is the heart-warming story of an incredible woman and her love for an amazing bird. Louise Bentley dedicates every summer to hand-rearing fallen swifts. These miraculous birds fly over 3000 miles all the way from Africa to share our homes. Sadly, their numbers are now in steep decline and they are red listed as endangered. In her Bolton home, Louise takes up to 60 swifts under her wing. Both exhausted adults and fallen chicks are given a second chance, as they are hand fed from dawn till dusk. We follow the fortunes of Babs, Winchester and Taylor as they struggle to gain the weight they need, in a race against time to be ready for their return migration to Africa. Every swift counts and for Louise, having formed such a bond with each individual bird, releasing them to the freedom of the skies is both a tender and magical moment.
