An informal inventory of Toronto-area Home Depot superstores that are also homes to local birds, complete with street addresses and public transit directions.  Postcards were distributed at art galleries, information booths and recreation centers in the downtown area. The DIY birdguide re-contextualizes the commercialized experience of visiting a Home Depot by drawing attention to the presence of its unintended, though natural, inhabitants.
