Benjamin Verdonck is a Belgian artist who depicts the living style of a bird by constructing an over-sized nest. The over-sized nest hangs in Weena in Rotterdam. As you can see from the pictures, the nest is life-sized and can apparently withstand an adults weight. What we can't see is the structure used to support this giant nest. We know it is not some add-on to the building, however Verdonck did this, it is brilliant. 
The art has three factors which make this a remarkable piece.1) The mere size and magnitude of the nest
2) Artistic brilliance in creating this piece to mirror the twigs and grass that real nest are made fom
3) The ability to sit in the nest hundreds of feet in the air!
