Buy your Moroccan scarf and Indian herbs via a...
Les Oiseaux de Merde is about to launch a new online service that will make local economies flourish again: using a phone camera with internet connection. Here’s how it works:
The concept is simple. A team of two people live streams a visit to a local market showing the uniques products you can buy. Another fellow describes each product and posts the product on a live stream blog...

Video of the very first Airplane Food Event! Made by Erik Loots.

Everyone Admin.
It is often said that a brand is made by its fans. Why shouldn’t it be?
The Coke page came to be when two fans who loved Coke just created a Coke fan page when Coke itself didn’t have one yet. Instead of taking over the page and making it their own, Coke decided to give them their blessing and help. By empowering the fans to keep their fan page, Coke ensures a passionate page...

Tour de France in Africa
Photo: Ilona Kamps
There are several bicycle races held in Africa each year: Tour of Rwanda, Tour of Eritrea and the Tour du Gabon are only a few examples. Due to these races, the cycling sport grows enormously in popularity in Africa.
At the same time, infrastructure is one of the main problems of African countries. In Cote d’Ivoire for example, only 8,12% of the roads is paved. In a...

Logos for diseases
EHEC Disease
Once in a while, the news warns us for a new virus or bacteria pandemic. Over the years, we tend to forget these diseases. Who remembers for example the swine flu of 2009, or the SARS pandemic of 2002?
Therefore, we think it is useful to design logos for these viruses and bacterias, since this makes it much easier for people to remember and to communicate the danger of these...

Design of the wall of the K-MU Theatre in...
In the commune of N’Djili, a suburb of Kinshasa lies a small but engaging theatre, called K-MU Theatre. Whom the founder, Toto Kisaku, invited us officially to head over to Kinshasa. The theatre happened to be there to stimulate art and to encourage people to take initiatives so they can evade people hoping that God or the lottery will bring them money. Concluding we, Les Oiseaux de Merde,...

Internet in Congo is so slow (average of 0,005 kb/s), it took almost 4 weeks to upload this impression video of our arrival in Congo. But the patience is rewarded!
hum pa dum, tadadada, hum pa dum!
My father made me to know that my great great gandfather Came from the Congo in the Western Province of Katanga. But I can’t remember his name, because it was too long. and if I...

Handing out Socks 4 Africa
In 2010 Les Oiseaux de Merde started the NGO Socks 4 Africa. After a year of hard work, we managed to raise 4 pairs of socks. In 2011 it was finally the time to deliver the socks. We have never seen African people so happy.
By the end of 2012 we want to have raised at least 12 pairs of socks. Believe in the impossible and donate your socks! There is no better way to redeem yourself from your...

Returning Africas capital
After years of slavery, war and exploitation, Les Oiseaux de Merde thinks it is time to return one of Africas most valuable properties: Ivory. Late 19th century, the ivory industry florished. In 1897 245 tons of ivory was stolen and exported from Congo to Europe (New York Times, 16 april 1899). We obviously feel ashamed for our greed and we want to make things right. Since the ivory was...

Business in Congo à la Daniel Knoop
Congo DR staat op vrijwel de laagste plek van landen waar je het makkelijkst een business kan opzetten. Ook al is het land inmiddels 50 jaar onafhankelijk, politiek gezien is het een zooitje. De VN staat ook machteloos: het is schier onmogelijk regels op te leggen in een land waar zelfs de politie en het leger tot op het bot corrupt zijn.
Daniel Knoop heeft gewerkt bij de Food and...
Barbies & Power Rangers
Terwijl Wilders druk bezig is de samenleving op te splitsen in Nederlanders en moslims, zijn bedrijven juist hard aan het werk om de samenleving op te splitsen in jongens en meisjes.
In de jaren ‘70 (‘vroeger’) was Lego voor ieder kind. Jongens en meisjes speelden allemaal met dezelfde Lego. Daar was tevens de marketing van Lego op gericht, met een reclame waarop...

Africans have no shortage of clothing. On a regular basis we donate T-shirts, pants, shoes and more to the African people. Without success. This does not work because development organizations do not look at what Africans really need. Les Oiseaux de merde did...

WOW! Oiseaux De Merde found the new iPhone in a...
We are proud to show you the new exclusive features! The design definately goes back to the 90’s but that does not make it less sleek. It gives a hint to the old computer era, and combines this with the phone function which is significantly present to emphasize the real function of the iPhone. This means that calling is still the major function of the iPhone, besides all the apps. Also,...
