Belgian performance artist Benjamin Verdonck made headlines in May 2008 when he built a large bird's nest on the side of a skyscraper in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
As part of a project called "The Great Swallow," Verdonck sat in his nest for several days looking down at a giant egg he'd placed in the street below.*Telegraph.co.uk: Birdman 'Flies' From Nest on Side of Skyscraper (May 21, 2008)
Quotes
