Help me zoom in.
Day 1. I’m an illustrator posting Bratislava’s pigeons, crows and swifts every day from my phone, until I can afford a camera with a 400 mm lens.
No tiers, no minimum. Even €1 matters.
The bird map
Every bird I’ve met so far, pinned where it hangs out. Drag to explore. Pinch, double-click or hold ⌘/Ctrl and scroll to zoom. Tap a bird to meet it.
Bird passports
Real birds, real addresses, slightly exaggerated personalities. Photos arrive with the lens.
Who’s who in the city
A pocket field guide to the birds you’ll actually meet in Bratislava, with their Slovak names. Tap a bird for its card.
The lens fund
€0 of €5,000
Every €500 lands a bird on the wire.
Where the €5,000 goes
Where this is flying
The camera is step one. The birds need more than portraits.

City pigeon lofts
Brno opened one in 2024: pigeons nest inside and some eggs are swapped for dummies. A small, healthy flock. No spikes, no poison.
Wear a pigeon
Shirts and prints from my illustrations. Every sale goes into the lens fund.
