Learn more about the Birdsong Project
Eggpicnic is an acclaimed design studio devoted to wildlife conservation set up by designers and birders Camila De Gregorio and Christopher Macaluso. They produce art prints and public art to end wildlife extinction through education and to raise public support for birdlife worldwide. They actively support conservation programs, with profits from their work directly donated to support scientific research.
In 2023, their work was selected to illuminate the façade of the Australian Parliament House and for Vivid Sydney 2023, with their animations projected on all four pylons of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Their work has been transformed into impressive large-scale public art installations, commissioned by the City of Sydney, the City of Melbourne, Sydney Olympic Park, and at Bondi Beach. Recognised for their artistic excellence, they received accolades from the Sydney Opera House in 2019. Collaborating closely with scientists, they initiated a joint research project with Dr. Kate Umbers from the School of Science at Western Sydney University to quantify the tangible impact of art on conservation efforts.
Eggpicnic supports the National Audubon Society, a non-profit conservation organization dedicated to protecting birds and the places they need, today and tomorrow. We’re collaborating with the National Audubon Society and The Birdsong Project on this limited edition item, to celebrate the joy birds bring to our lives and brings attention to the message they have for us about the environmental threats we all face.
“This collaboration with the Birdsong Project is very meaningful to us. Growing up and living in North America, I developed a deep longing for the birds that used to be a part of my life. I hold dear memories of three distinct and iconic bird species: the American Robin, Northern Cardinal, and Black-capped Chickadee, featured in our collaboration. Since moving to Australia, we have witnessed impressive strides in global conservation efforts. However, the challenges faced by birds have continued to rapidly evolve. The Birdsong Project’s work, which seamlessly weaves together the worlds of birds and art in all their forms, is exceptionally important in its role of raising public support for the birds around the world and we’re honoured to be a part of this. We hope this collaboration serves as a reminder of our deep-seated connection with birds, anywhere in the world, reinforcing our commitment to their protection.“
