Scroll further down the blog page of the Perch Project and you will learn more about two visual communication designers’ humble attempt to help birds and animals in distress. The Perch Project aims to equip you with all the necessary information, so that the next time you encounter an abandoned animal or an injured bird, you know what to do instead of depending on a vet or sifting through pages of unreliable information on the internet.
