Some birds to create shelter to protect and warm the growing family make nests that are created out of things collected from the locality and placed together to form a whole space. The cup nest: Straw, grass, mud...woven together. They choose the location deliberately; safe from predators, sheltered from rains and winds, not too far from food. Family-sized spaces in the gaps between elements in the natural landscape.
What about a nest for the city bird, would they collect trash, compost, recycling, shards of man-made materials, all found in the locality, situated in an out-of-the-way underpass corner not seen from the street, or on the roof of a high rise, between the roof door space and the satellites? Family-sized spaces in the gaps between elements in the built landscape.
