Feather Nest

Shelter

An interactive birdhouse that promotes a bird-friendly community through collective public effort.

Instead of leaving wildlife protection solely to environmental organizations, this design invites everyone to participate in supporting bird populations. With a simple tap on the birdhouse, users can provide food for local birds, making conservation accessible and engaging for all. This small daily action creates meaningful impact, turning casual interactions into lasting habits while fostering a deeper connection between humans and birds.

Taking simple steps

The birdhouses will be distributed and installed in urban parks throughout the city. Each birdhouse system includes a handheld notifier that displays information about the networked birdhouses. Users can use the device to view bird species details and monitor food levels.

We’ve lost more than one in four of our birds which means, 2.9 billionbreeding adult birds have been lost within the past 50 years, including the birds in forests, grassland,and living in our neighborhoods. The decline of the bird population and decreasing bird diversity is asignificant ecological concern with multiple contributing factors.High-Density Urban AreasUrban Built-Up AreasResidential Suburban AreasUrban Parks & Green CorridorsPeri-Urban/Urban EdgeUrban WetlandsCommercial DistrictsLark Bunting-56%Greater Roadrunner-27%Canyon Wren-23%Common Grackle-20%Bobolink-20%Sparrow-16%American Crow-12%1970sUrbanizationBoom1980sGlass Building1990sLight PollutionPeak2000sAir Quality Crisis2010sNoise PollutionSurge2020sClimate ChangeBirds typically possess four types of cone cells being sensitive not only to red, green, and blue, but also capable ofperceiving ultraviolet (UV) light. Most birds are especially sensitive to blue and green because the blue-green spectrum fallsprecisely within the high-sensitivity range of avian visual systems, easily triggering visual responses.300nm380nm450nm500nm550nm600nm700nmHouseSparrow480-500nmAmericanRobin485-520nmEuropeanStarling460-520nmHouse Finch500-515nmhigh-sensitivity range

Service ecosystem: from public awareness to a shared database of urban biodiversity, in eight steps

Hardware design

The concept of the bird house focus on satisfying the tactile experience of pressing a mechanical switch, connecting that sensation to the act of helping birds

Product detials

The house is consist of two layers. The upper layer is a food container and the lower is a house. Pressing the roof of the egg with trigger the spring mechanism and bird food will be dispose to the lower layer. The opening is 1 1/4 inches: Ideal for average small birds while preventing predators such as squirrels and rats.

Species identification
Timestamp recording

1¼" entrance sized for small birds while blocking predators like squirrels and rats. Circular design and raised roof further deter predators more effectively than a flat roof.

Infrared night‑vision camera for detecting bird arrivals and recording human interactions.
Species identification and time‑stamped recordings.
