Contributing to the zoo
For those of you that want to contribute there are two options. Either you buy one of the birds that are we are selling or you create your own birds with plastic foil. Either way you can participate in the project by freeing the birds. Of course we love your own selfmade birds and the stories behind them and of course we love it when you support the project by buying one of the five birds that we selected for commercial exploitation...
What you will get
 |
The package you will find in your letterbox. The birdcage. Open it quickly and free the birds. |
 |
The birds are shipped wrapped in a piece of art. It is printed on heavy paper, so you should be able to use it for other things... |
 |
You will receive two birds of a kind at first. The whole thing costs 30 US$ per package (this includes the international shipping). The size of a bird is roughly 5.2 x 5.2 inches or 13 x 13 centimeters. |
 |
Now you will be able to go and free your birds. Take a picture of them! And send it over!! |
 |
After you have uploaded a picture of your freed bird, you will receive another one for free - so all together you get three birds |
You will also be sent mounting instructions for your birds. They can easily be stuck on almost any surface - no further tools are necessary - except for a credit card that you can use to rub it on the surface.
The Swarm
The birds are handmade. At the moment there are five different types you can choose from. As seasons come and go, birds migrate and you will be able to acquire other types too. Subscribe to the newsletter if you want to be notified of updates on the bird collection.
