A Family Of Four




Which location you consider to be safe and convenient to set up home and raise your children depends entirely on the perception of the parents.




This shelf in front of my workshop was choosen as the ideal nesting place by a young Cape Robin couple. They made their home in between the retro lampshade, the wooden jaguar scluptures, the glass jar with paintbrushes and an oil painting.
And no, I can not explain  to you why these things are there and no, they are not in a specific order. I just noticed the complexity of the scenario myself when I took the pictures. But this is what happens in an artists life. If  I use them ? I will. Soon. Now that I have seen them again.




Food is close by




Very close
and in abundance





The inside of the nest has been upholstered with feathers that my chicken have lost. It looks a bit messy like any young couple's home but it could not be more comfortable.



And no doubt life has changed forever. Especially for him. Having children is not a bit as you imagined it. Rather hard work with two mouths to feed.

Set Me Free


A true story of the adventures of a little Cape Robin, a story of discovery, fear, human encounter and salvation told in fourteen pictures for children (because you need patience for this) and some selected adults


Once upon a time there was a very young girlie-bird



who did not listen to her parents and  flew into a human's house




just to look at the world from the inside out




For a while this was really nice




Oh yes, really really nice. Because there was so much to see !
A world of glass in front of her




But then the question that arose was: how to get out of here ?


And when the human came for the first time in her life true fear set in




It did not really help to ride a bike



because Cape Robins are not made for this




But she tried so hard in anyway




Her heart started racing and she felt if not of the human she is gonna die of fear !




Help me ! Help me ! She now shouts in the direction of her parents house




Too late! The human is already here !



The human however was of the kind category
and true, she was caught
but then set free
