Domus Avicus Philadelphicus endeavors to draw aviary urban habitats into the public eye by creating urban bird shelters, inspired by Philadelphia’s iconic rowhomes.  We aim to have the public ponder the life of their fellow urban inhabitants – the birds – and how the functions of avian habitats – dry, sheltered, and well-ventilated spaces - are similar to that of our own.  The Domus Avicus birdhouses highlight the existence of an often-overlooked urban eco-system and support the need to protect and provide for Philadelphia’s native wildlife.
