How cruel we humans are. Not content to tempt our domesticated birds and taunt our domesticated fish by keep predator and prey in the same household, we felt compelled to engineer this fiendish habitat which brings them face to face.
Constance Guisset’s thermoformed aquarium surrounds the tip top of a birdcage which also serves as its pedestal. The inside of the glass, in very tiny bird text, probably reads “In case they went on holidays and forgot to fill your bird feeder, break glass.” [MocoLoco]

How the heck are you meant to clean the thing properly..

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 12:44 PMIf it were my bird living in there, the inside of that fishbowl would be opaque within a day, with all the feathers/dust he lets out. Can’t imagine that fish bowl would be too easy to clean either.

Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 5:55 PMInteresting idea, but completely impractical.
The bird cage is too narrow. Birds are planes, not helicopters who just hover up and down. A more spherical or cuboidal cage shape is more ideal.
The fish bowl looks extremely difficult to clean and has no centre bottom. The fish swim in circles all day? Oh and no pump. This is precisely why hardly anyone keeps fish in a bowl for long anymore, you need to replace the water constantly to keep it oxygenated, instead of the slightly more sophisticated, but less intensive tank with pump.
