The Myrtle Avenue Bird Town, a public arts installation designed to give local birds some sanctuary, began hanging their colorful homes from trees in Fort Greene Park and Person Square Triangle this weekend. The group celebrated with a free bird feeder building/decorating workshop in the park yesterday, and the whole project will be on display in the two parks until December 2010. MABT focused on "reconsidering the shapes traditionally associated with the birdhouse," and wanted to turn the parks into places where "creativity, nature, and community to intersect and thrive together." We have just one question: where are the birds going to live when December rolls around?
