christian bermudez: the birdhouse project
‘the birdhouse project’ by christian bermudez
and functioning nesting place for the pied flycatcher (ficedula hypoleuca), a migrant bird that spends most of the year
in west aftrica. however, from april until september, when it is summer in europe and winter in africa, it heads north to norway.
permeability and timeline were all factors which would affect the nesting of the flycatcher. the power lines
are an ideal place for the birdhouses since they hang at the same height at which the bird flies.
each unit measures H12 x W12 x L26 cm (H4.7 x W4.7 x L10 inches) and has a hole which is 3.2 cm (1.3 inches)
in diameter, large enough for the birds to fit while still providing shelter.
a webcam is placed in one of the compartments, allowing for studies of the migrant bird. the project was declared
a success after a pair of flycatchers built a nest in one of the shoes.
