I've make hard to spot birdhouses as part of my ongoing street art project Happy City Birds.
I made all the houses from recycled plywood and painted them using different techniques to make them blend in with their surroundings.

hahaha :). oh if you are serious ? birds are expert at finding safe places. Is how they survive at all.

The fact this person even took the time and effort to make sure every last detail was right is amazing!
This is just for show, not really for birds. Come on, a birdhouse on a traffic sign next to a road?
Wow, such care and thoughtfulness goes into the preparation of each piece. Very impressive!
I love the half & half birdhouses, one half being one thing and the other half being another. The art is amazing!
Some are cool, and some are useless for birds, because of their location.
Ask your teacher about birds. They clearly haven't covered ornithology and that's a shame. There's a lot to be learned from and about birds, so seriously, ask your educators to explain bird nesting behavior. You'll be surprised at how adaptable and adept nature can be.

City parks and backyard gardens are much better than busy roadways, convenience stores, porches, and glass windows as either the parents will die or they will abandon their eggs or chicks out of stress. At least the birdhouses should be much higher up.
Creative and all, but whats wrong with birds? Why do they have to be hidden?
Yes I will repeat myself. I have concerns with the placement of several of these. 1. So long as the humans are going to be ok with this. Birds will leave droppings ..and some humans can be totally cruel and remove the nest -birds and eggs and babies and all.
2. Lovely to look out a window and watch a bird family, but Birds cannot see windows the way we see them, There are ways to reduce this.

I think these are really awesome and a great way to keep birds away from harm. But, some of the birdhouse placements don't really make sense to me. Like, a birdhouse on a roadwork sign? It just seems strange.
I was literally playing a game with this... look for the hidden birdhouse
Sykz and Sarah Please do your research first. Yes it is great to help birds out, but we need to make sure we are not creating more of a problem.
