About AvesNoir
Aves Noir is an exploration and celebration of all things inspired by that one most clever, mysterious, and intriguing of the Feathered Realm – the Corvid. Across vast matters of subject these creatures – from Nutcrackers to Ravens – appear, and at the heart of our love for them nest a common culture appreciating the intellectual, macabre, and sombre.
In the center of each piece is a scientific passion for birds that we hope connects like minded connoisseurs to shared interests in the arts, film, dance, couture, and written and entices literary evolution in our readers.
