Umbra Bird Cafe

A stylish apartment center with a trendy restaurant for smaller feathered guests: Teddy Luong and Dennis Cheng are not swayed by the kitsch of many garden accessories, but instead design a birdhouse for the Canadian brand Umbra that embodies modern urbanity. The irregularly arranged windows, clad in clear plastic panels, provide a view of the birdseed level, and the flat roof can be easily removed for refilling. Garden birds can peck at the automatically replenishing food from all four sides of the birdhouse while comfortably perched on the edge of the slightly larger, cleverly divided base tray. The tray features fine drainage holes to prevent the birdseed from floating in rainwater. By the way, the Bird Cafe feeder from Umbra is loosely hung from a branch or beam.
