Story: Under the smoke of the Eagle's Nest, the voices of four other exotic birds are regularly heard. These are the macaws of one of the local residents. They are a household name in the neighbourhood, make quite a bit of noise and are the resident's great love.
He has no fewer than four of them. Two inside, two outside. "People in the neighbourhood know that the macaw belongs to me. A macaw on the wall would be nice." And that’s how it happened.
Thanks to Nina Valkhoff's creative mural, which depicts the story botanically on the wall. By the way, do you see the "whole grain" reference in the painting?
The previously starkly white painted walls in this
neighbourhood were an eyesore for local residents. Together with various local organisations, we planned these murals. Stories were collected from the neighbourhood residents, which were depicted on the walls by various artists. Each wall also hides a "Biscuit" as a reference to the "Sluis biscuit factory" that used to stand near this neighbourhood, and is now the namesake of this neighbourhood.
