The 'Super Kingdom' [birdhouse exhibit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-birdfeeder) is sort of an ultra high-density condo community for the aviary set. Duo Bruce Gilchrest and Jo Jelson of [London Fieldworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park-house) created this commissioned work as a comment on the overpopulated suburban area that surrounds the King's Wood Forest in England.

The functional display was created after researching [bird hibernation patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-nature-observatory) and will also be the subject of a video piece the pair is producing over the winter. I think the home with the slot-shaped holes could actually be a butterfly apartment.
