We Made Quilling Window Decorations To Prevent Bird Crashes

ADVERTISEMENT

I just spent a month volunteering in Brazil at IPBio Research Centre in Iporanga. I was volunteering as a research assistant and they gave us many exciting projects to work on! One of the projects they had us working on, particularly when it was a rainy day, was making these crafts out of old petri dishes. One of the things the centre studies is bioluminescent mushrooms, and so they had the idea to create mushrooms from quilling art in the old petri dishes. These would then be hung up along the windows as a display, as well as to act as an extra deterrent to help prevent birds from flying into the windows. Below you can see the video of creating the quilling project as well as some of the amazing birds that could be seen in the area!
