BIRDHOUSE CONSTRUCTION
CONSULTING WITH GDAŃSK UNIVERSITY
From the very beginning of the project we had been consulting it with ornithology specialists which helped us avoid design mistakes that could result in birdhouses being uninhabitable. We discussed what needs have to be met to ensure safety and easy access to food for birds. That is how we decided not to include the little stick, an element broadly used in many birdhouse designs that in reality provides an opportunity for predators. We set on a birdhouse design that can host, amongst many other species, house sparrows that reside in Poland even during winter months. The mural is situated on an elementary school, so the students can observe the birds all throughout the year as part of their curriculum.
