A short summary of your project

In 2014, feeding the birds became an offence fineable by up to £2,500. The Feed the Birds community houses the space for feeders to anonymously support one another whilst they continue to do what they love in safe spaces.

Each site gets a handmade house that features a handbook on incognito feeding, a postcard welcome pack, and a communal fat-ball mould inspired by the ‘Fight Club’ logotype soap.

To continue funding the project, I also sell packaged fat-balls to help spread the word about feeding the birds in your own garden.

Who are you?

I'm a third year Graphic Design student with a keen interest in collaboration and designing for good.

Your story

My grandad is a keen bird feeder, and whilst living with him last year I was introduced to his extensive feeding habits. Feeding the birds is an extremely important part of his daily routine, as it is for many other older members of the community. This hobby helps people maintain routine, connect with nature in an accessible way, and contributes to fighting lonliness.

The threat of fines has been detrimental to bird feeding in parts of the country. Feed the Birds empowers feeders in the community to continue doing what they love in a safe and supported way. 

By donating, you will help me to make more bird houses with kits and communal fat ball moulds so that the movement can spread to other communities in need.
