Frederik Roijé's Birdmosk and Birdchurch

Bird worship. Give the little guys a sanctuary with Frederik Roijé's Birdmosk and Birdchurch at POAA.

Both the Birdmosk and Birdchurch are made of porcelain and stand just over 10" high. We love the look of these, it reminds us of some of Peter Zumthor's work. (Thanks for the tip, Michael!)

Are muslims cool with this?

And yes, why no synagogue? Or Buddist or Shinto shrines? (Esp Shinto -- all about nature!)

many minds thinking the same, I also wondered where the synagogue might be...

And *I'm* wondering why we're now foisting religion on our poor, innocent avian neighbors. Hasn't it done enough damage to humans?!? Just leave those poor birds alone... -D

i am spiritual but not religious and i find the bird sanctuaries to be like 'clipping the wings', reason is this, i am for anything that raises awareness of habitat and health, yet i dont think birds envy our plight; havent we always admired thier gracefull freedoms.
besides, christians may have difficullty with this if they know the scripture, Mark 11:15-19 (jesus tossing the dove sellers out of gods house).

anyway...anything that can bring enlightenment to more natural habitat awareness is welcome.

I don't think birds give a damn about what "house" they raise their young in.

Perhaps they have something to teach us.

Btw, pardon my ignorance, but do synagogues have any sort of iconic shape that would be recognizeable outside the context of this series?

If not, perhaps that's why no synagogue.

Why oh why is there no Wicca house? How pitiful.
