Prayan Animation takes pride in teaming up with the multi-faceted Helen Parker – Diamonds Film Canada, to co-produce the 2D animated series ‘Sonic Bird‘. The series is inspired by the very real and wondrous endangered birds of Australia and Papua New Guinea. Helen Parker was born and raised in the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park in NSW Australia. A good part of her childhood was spent playing in the rainforests. She developed a flair for studying the lifestyle of birds in this forest. Most birds she saw daily were critically endangered. She observed their complex behavior, soothing songs, chirping, and unique interactions, up close.

She relocated to Canada in 2015 to further her writing ambitions. In Canada, she missed the chirping of Australian birds and watching their cheeky behavior. To fill this void, she decided to create ‘Sonic Birds’. Helen believes in the power of unity in diversity and so Sonic Birds has the theme of “Birds of different feathers must work together”. Being a mother of three herself, Helen is very much aware that children enjoy stories wherein the characters overcome challenges. The essence of Sonic Birds is the fighting spirit. Apart from this, the story also has humor, adventure, and life lessons which makes it even more interesting.
