Andreu Carulla’s NeighBirds is a clever take on the birdhouse.
Each birdhouse is hand-crafted into a hexagon from untreated pine. As a stand-alone birdhouse NeighBirds is a perfectly fine birdhouse. The genius of the design comes into play when the love birds decide to start a family.

Street artist Thomas “Dambo” Winther’s Happy City Birds project is upcycling trash into birdhouses for natures little recyclers.
“Birds are actually great at recycling and we need to appreciate this. They eat old food, fruits, berries, and nuts lying about. In that way, they help to clean and distribute seeds around our cities, so new plants can grow.”

Birds need houses too, you guys.
It turns out restoring old buildings and building efficiently means birds have fewer places to live without all the holes and gaps in buildings they could normally use as a house. Homeless city birds! This is a real problem and these artists have solutions.
