Thomas Dambos – the mind behind the amazing project of ‘Happy City Birds’ – is redefining the meaning of street art with his thought-provoking approach of decorating streets with creatively built birdhouses. He is practically proving that street art is not only about tinting the walls with the graffiti, in fact; it can also be executed with worthy projects – just like by building birdhouses? Well, yes!

Since then,more than 3500 birdhouses have been built and some of them are a part of a big art project, while the rest have been spread all over different cities.

The best part about these birdhouses is that they are built by recycled materials and scrap wood, which further glorifies the remarkability of this project.

Imagine experiencing amazingly designed art projects, beautifully colored birdhouses, and chirping birds while taking a stroll in the street or standing in your balcony. Isn’t it refreshing? Indeed!
