DesignBand - Bird Turf Urban Birdhouses!

In most cities, where you see power lines you'll undoubtedly see a pair of sneakers chucked over them, hanging in the breeze.



DesignBand
has very cleverly upended this meme with their spicy idea: Bird Turf!

"an urban birdhouse inspired by the uniquely American act of throwing shoes over powerlines... Bird Turf proudly reclaims city space for natural habitat by manipulating a distinctly cultural typology."
In other words, if you've gotta chuck something over a power line, donate those old Jordans to Goodwill and chuck these instead!



Nicey nice nice.

A chirpy chirpy "thank you!" to the good people at DesignBand.
