Dutch artist Benjamin Verdonck has built a nest in the side of a skyscraper in Rotterdam. According to his website, he’s staying there for seven days and built it out of “the crowns of twenty-three silver birches. one birch one willow two straw bales one bucket of spit three bags of sand twelve buckets of glue nineteen cans of polyurethane foam.”
Occasionally he stands on top of the nest and throws feathers down. There’s also a giant egg sitting on the street. So is he a loon or a cuckoo? I don’t know, but if he flies to New York I’ll definitely check it out.
