Chirp Peek
This outdoor installation connects urban communities with local wildlife by combining a periscope and bird feeder, allowing users to observe birds without disturbing them. It engages the public through playful, educational elements, raising awareness of urban wildlife and addressing species loneliness. Designed with minimal moving parts for durability and low maintenance, the installation fosters respect for nature. Feedback from experts and park-goers was gathered to refine the concept and assess its environmental impact.
