I really like the look of the street level on this one, and the fact the a parking lot will be going away. Let's hope this gets built.

The giant Magpie looks cool, reminds me of the big birds in SE False Creek in Van.

Actually that would look great, and they are local.

I honestly really like the magpie idea. I had relatives from the UK who were fascinated with the magpies when they first visited Calgary. Locals all find them a nuisance but visitors think they're a novelty. Perfect conversational topic for an art piece to encourage

After the last two pages of magpie discussion I feel someone should add a poll - just to triple-check where the SSC brain trust is landing on this one 
I think we have narrowed the options down to:

A. I like the magpie
B. I like the magpie, but only if it doesn't block the sidewalk

Another choice could be, D: I prefer another bird, but would be happy with the Magpie
Just for the record, I prefer the American Golden finch, simply because of the colors.

Weird. I voted, but it doesn't show my result. I tried to vote again and it says I already voted.

I’m having the same issue, I voted but it’s showing all zeros for the result? Does one have to register or login to see their correct result?Weird. I voted, but it doesn't show my result. I tried to vote again and it says I already voted.

So far everyone is good with a statue of a bird 
For the record, I'm good with any bird as long as there is some color. The Golfdfinch is very colorful, on the other hand the Magpie is kind of our local bird, like them or not, and the do have some nice colors. Either one is good.
