Claire Byrne: ‘I had lived an adult life up to the age of 38 not having had children, so I know what that freedom is like’
“I moved back to the countryside with my family for most of it,” she says. “And I raised a duck – it was really sweet. We live by lots of lakes, and she’d just been found in a swimming pool, a week old. So I just raised her as my own.” The duck, which was named Petrie after the flying dinosaur from The Land Before Time, has returned every summer since. “I think she realises that she gets fed, so she brings other ducks with her now,” grins Birdy.
The musical touchpoints on Portraits mix things up yet again; it’s an altogether poppier-sounding album, and she explains how the visual aesthetic of artists like PJ Harvey were an initial inspiration. “And I was listening to Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek at the very beginning,” she says. “I was interested in trying to do a pop song, or something that had some momentum to it, but in a way that felt authentic – because I felt like I’d never achieved that before.
