Birdy Kids

Birdy Kids is a French-based street-art artist collective.

Career

Birdy Kids was created in 1989, in Lyon, France. It has now 3 members: Gauthier, Stéphane and Guillaume.[1][2]

The first graffiti that the collective made featured a bird (now knows as "Birdy") along some of the ring roads of the Lyon area. Although it was first thought of as a degradation of public space, Birdy is now a symbol for the city, which explains why the graffiti remain untouched by the graffiti removal services.[1]

Since 2000, Birdy Kids have participated in several events promoting street art in other cities, including Paris and Barcelona.[3][4]

In 2012, Birdy Kids was chosen to be the cultural ambassador of Lyon.[1][5]
