This mural is on the back of school property, so it won't always be accessible. In a fenced in area, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy has established a bird garden. Stevo Sadvary and volunteers have created this great space for the kids to watch and learn about the local birds. They have bird houses and plants to provide sources of food and shelter.

Along the side of some steps, Stevo has created these terrific images of some of the birds that the kids may see in the garden.

Part of the Points of Interest project, this incredible display of assorted birds is hidden in a corner by an underpass in North Braddock. Although we know that the artists that participated in the Points of Interest project were only here temporarily, we keep hoping to find additions to this mural. It's full title is: North Braddock Aviary Hall of Male Birds in Courtship Plumage.

When Stevo Sadvary was deciding on the design for this mural he thought about how it would be viewed. Most people would be driving past it and would have only a second or two, just a glance, to take it all in. He opted for a simple design that could be quickly appreciated. A mosaic of two big, beautiful cardinals in stained glass with a painted background satisfied his wish for a fun, spirited, yet easily appreciated scene. At 15.5 feet tall, the colorful birds stand out and make a cheerful addition to this street corner. The title reflects his intent to keep the mural easy to grasp. There are no words on it, just birds. No deep meaning hidden in little details, just pure, simple beauty and fun that everyone can appreciate.
