No, design at it's worst would be if people listened to critics like you who think the Stone Age was fine and dandy. Find a different site for your opinions if you're not going to at least suggest something better.

Yeah, because a predator really needs something to stand on to try to break into a hole he won't even fit in in the first place. It's a BIRDHOUSE for Pete's sake, there's nothing that needs to be crucial about it.

Light pollution is really not pollution at all. And don't be overdramatic, that thing's probably smaller than my index finger.

You can't seriously be saying you think birds are night blind. That's simply ludicrous. Besides, it's not only for the birds. It's for people too. It's supposed to be aesthetic.

Finally… a smart and economical solution for a problem that has existed for years. Now a bird can find its way back home after a long evening out. I’m impressed. Congratulations on a winner!

[...] Here’s another gadget for your yard birds: solar bird house – it has has a solar panel that charges a small battery. At sunset a sensor turns on the illuminated perch, creating a whimsical glow in your garden and hopefully makes it easier for your birdies to get home (via yankodesign.com): [...]

[...] 這一段時間拍鳥的經驗（粗淺的經驗），感覺上我們所謂的留鳥，都有一定的生活領域，今天你看到它出現，明天再來，在同樣的地點附近通常會再碰到它！太陽能鳥屋網路上看到一個太陽能鳥屋的設計，有人替這設計設了個主題是＂為歸鳥留一盞燈＂，不知道是否實用，不過有人回應這個設計可以吸引蟲子，對鳥兒也有好處，只是亮亮的棒子，鳥是否有興趣？（資料來源：Yanko Design） [...]

This is design masturbation in its worst!

Create and “solve” problem that doesn’t exist:
Birds don’t have a problem to find the nest.
Birds don’t fly in the night as they sleep. Artificial light makes it worst.

Using solar panel where unnecessary is bold waste of the resources – the panels were manufactured and shipped from China. Even if they hide behind words “solar, green, ecological, etc..”
Also, I am sure that birds would be excited about using meranti wood imported half way thru the world from Malaysia.

Unecessary product with zero added value and huge carbon footprint. This is design at its worst.

Please leave birdhouses construction for kids. They do it better and use local materials like old wooden boxes or waste material. The whole point of birdhouse is NOT to provide accomodation to birds. They can manage without those birdhouses completely.

Kids build birdhouses for two reasons: to learn basic crafts skills and to learn something about nature.

This “design” is exactly what overexcited kid would build if got spare money to spend.
