Thanks to the folks at this fun aggregator site, we learned of Piip Show, a collaborative initiative bright to us by several artists and Norwegian Radio that allows a community of animals to gather in a setting familiar to many in modern urban landscapes around the world:

The story of Piip-Show

When the internet was just a baby sleeping quietly in its cradle, NRK broadcasted live from a bird house decorated like a little dollhouse. The year is 2003, and the mastermind behind the project, freelance photographer Magne Klann, receives attention even from the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC.

Spring 2014, Klann has joined companionship with illustrator and model maker Lars Aurtrade, and turns to NRK who enthusiastically embraces the idea of a new live broadcast from a bird feeder.

Ornithologists from all over Norway will answer any questions you may have. During the spring we will all have the opportunity to get to know these birds in a completely new way!

The Piip-Show is a three months long live broadcast from the Norwegian broadcasting network, NRK.no.

Here you have the chance to follow life inside a bird feeder decorated as a coffee bar – second by second.

Different personalities meet inside the bar. Among others a short tempered nuthatch, a blue tit with the memory of a gold fish, a happy-go-lucky great tit, and a depressed bullfinch. Like in any other bar there is bickering, petty theft, fighting and attempts at romance. But what are the birds actually saying to each other?
