Bird Pavilions are two studies on the ways in which our lives and natural behaviors imprint on one another. Both are structures for indifferent avian audiences, which—whether by our influence or by sheer convenience—have come to rely on some sort of human intervention to sustain them.

The Chickadee Pavilion is a feeder for small songbirds. Though bird enthusiasts often build a number of structures to attract their melodies, the bulk of their efforts are spent warding off unwanted visitors. As is to be expected, natural selection is ever ready to thwart the small Chickadee—the first to get elbowed out of any feeding circle. This pavilion is yet another attempt, taking after the fences they often adopt as perches.
