Build your own Birdbox

In September 2024, we hosted an ecology object workshop as part of Open House Festival. Participants made birdboxes, seed bombs and bug hotels and chatted about inclusivity, community participation and ecology within the city.

It was a really fun day for all involved, bringing a little bit of ecology to peoples green spaces and animating the street and pocket park designed by us, in front of Periscope's office.

If you would like to make a birdbox of your own, you can download the files here. We recommend using 3mm plywood for the Birdbox. The files have been laid out on a 600X600mm sheet, so make sure to check with your chosen laser cutting service the dimensions of their cutting bed, and rearrange the pieces accordingly! Have fun
