A funny thing happened....
Yesterday afternoon we were enjoying unseasonably warm weather, so Rob and I grabbed our cameras and went for a walk around the neighbourhood.
When we were coming up on the local library I noticed that there was some strange stuff going on with the fencing.
I stepped back a little and saw birds.
Someone has taken long strips of fabric and woven it through the fencing to create outlines of indigenous birds. Some of the birds include a king parrot, what I think is an egret and fairy wren. The fairy wren is my favourite I think. And I must admit I had to come home and look up the birds in a bird book....
It was really amazing and kinda strange. But I can't help thinking who made them? Why did they do it? And why put them near the train station at Artarmon? They have obviously been there for a while because the fabric is looking quite faded.
If you live on the North Shore it's worth checking out.
Has anyone else seen these in Sydney?

That's amazing! The wren is my favourite!! All we get around here are bags of dog poop hung on fences and ridiculous felt cupcakes.

that's so cool -- fence birds might go well with tree sweaters: http://erika.fisherking.org/?page_id=271
