The idea for the Bird Banks was born when Croatia adopted Euro. Loose change ended up everywhere and Laura realized she needed a piggy bank. If she needed one, surely others did as well.

The inspiration for he money slot position came from the nature. There is a nest of swallows on Laura’s balcony and it is quite impressive to se baby chicks widely opening their beaks demanding to be fed. The ceramic Bird Banks would be fed with money through the beaks.

Bird Banks can hold coins and notes, keeping the function of saving both practical and clear.Bird Banks soon revealed one more purpose. In response to Laura’s announcement of the collection, an old collector of Birds of Happiness suggested another, deeper purpose. She suggested that Bird Banks could be fed with little notes of wishes, thoughts, dreams, or even sorrows that need releasing. From time to time, the Bird Bank can be opened, letting go of what no longer serves, while revisiting the things once longed for or cherished.

In this way, Ceramic Bird Banks became keepers of memories, emotions, and hopes – small guardians of happiness and freedom, resting in a home or workspace as a reminder that we always have the right to hold on to what brings us joy and let go of what no longer does.
