Angel Place Birdcages

Forgotten Songs commemorates the songs of fifty birds once heard in central Sydney before they were gradually forced out of the city by European settlement. The calls, which filter down from the canopy of birdcages suspended above Angel Place, change as day shifts to night; the daytime birds' songs disappearing with the sun and those of the nocturnal birds which inhabited the area sounding into the evening.

A stunning piece of Street Art that needs to be heard as well as seen. With temperatures of 37 in the City today the high rise buildings offered some welcome shade.
