Screaming Trees: Birdhouse

Screaming trees, giving trees a voice. At Havas we have developed a self-sufficient chainsaw-detecting device, which is mounted on tree trunks. Via a built in microphone, it infallibly detects chainsaws within a 20 meter-area and sends out a warning signal if the tree is about to get cut down.

We decided to open this project to everyone that feels like it can make a difference in their own neck of their wood. Now you too can build your own laser cut birdhouse.

• Laser cutter

• 3d Printer

• PLA filament (ABS is advised)

• MDF or your preferred material

• 8mm x 10mm screws + fasteners

• Hotglue gun + refill

• Spray paint (color is up to you)

• Tree hooks

Assemble all laser cut parts, 3D printed
pieces and miscellaneous components.

Take the front panel and insert the 3D printed perch into it. Keep it in place by using the lock part.

Fold the birdhouse in a form of a triangle and lock the upper part with the screws and fasteners.

Insert the front panel starting from the bottom.

Insert the 3D printed roof, starting from the bottom and press it firmly in place.

Insert the back panel starting from the bottom.

By using hooks, you can now easily attach your Screaming Trees to a tree near you.
