Trash, especially plastics, have started to really take a toll on seabirds and birds in general. Often-times these colorful shards look like something good to eat or the bird eats them unknowingly through the animals they themselves consume. Either way many birds are now dying due to stomachs full of indigestible waste leaving their ecosystems crumbling. I imagined this piece as a warning to those around us. Either deal with the trash or loose the lovely and necessary birds around us because let's face it... rubbish cannot fly.
