I think that it's a noble attempt to create a town that's exclusively 'For the Birds.' I mean, we humans shouldn't be the only ones to benefit from an ordered existence with roles and duties to keep life meaningful. Birds should be given a chance to live life to the fullest as well and what better way than by owning a pawn shop or bar?
Created by painter Jeff Canham and woodworker Luke Bartels, 'For the Birds' was a simple project that occurred because they shared a studio space in San Francisco.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Avian Architecture
- The trend of creating bird-friendly urban environments opens up opportunities for architects to design birdhouses and nests in urban landscapes.
- Eco-entrepreneurship
- As people become more aware of the benefits of bird-friendly cities, eco-entrepreneurs can capitalize on the demand for specialized birdhouse designs and products that benefit bird habitats.
- Social Responsibility
- Organizations can increase their social responsibility by adopting bird-friendly practices, such as providing safe environments for birds, in cities and towns.
Sectors Adopting This
- Architecture
- The architecture industry can embrace new design challenges by incorporating bird friendly spaces or habitats into urban development.
- Eco-tourism
- Industries related to eco-tourism can leverage the growing interest in bird-watching by providing bird-friendly accommodations, guided tours, and unique experiences.
- Retail
- With the trend on bird-friendly habitats on the rise there is an opportunity for specialty retail stores to focus on products that support bird habitat.
