Bird Houses, Charleston, South Carolina, USA


In conjunction with the Southeast Wildlife Exposition, the Kids for Conservation Birdhouse Display showcases original designs of natural and/or recycled materials by area high school age students. The houses were on display at the main library in downtown Charleston. They were crowded onto or under long tables so it was difficult to get a clear and well lighted photographic angle. Here are a few examples:

Books

Bottles

Corks

Records

Tongue depressors and coffee stirrers

Soda pop cans

Circuit boards

I'm not sure real birds would actually inhabit these creations but they are fun to enjoy nevertheless. I am also intrigued to imagine that the raw materials for these projects reflect the home life of the young artists and the cultural affects in their lives. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.........
