Meet the "Nest" Team

bird's newsroom, or "Nest"  was created during the pandemic and we got started remotely, not meeting one another in person for almost a year. Today, we still work remotely, with team members based all over the continent. Here are some of the proud members of the bird "nest" - past and present!
