The feathered variety, of course! :laugh:
A Norwegian artist is staging a new version of Big Brother online - with birds instead of people.
Magne Klann put a wooden bird house in a tree at Bogstad Gaard in Oslo with a webcam inside it.
The daily life of the birds who use the house, which has lamps, a TV and pictures on the wall, are shown on his Piip-show website.
So far, more than 3,000 people have visited the website to follow the lives of the "contestants".
Currently, the house is home to a family of blue tits, although it has also been used by other birds.
"One could call it art but for me it is a social realistic experiment with birds," Klann told TV2 Nettavisen.
He admitted he had got the idea from Big Brother and had just replaced people with birds. But said there would be no evictions.

And THIS (http://www.nrk.no/magasin/upunkt/piipshow/2679607.html) is the link to the live camera. There was 'no-one home' when I had a look.
Anyone understand Norwegian? :laugh:
