Netizens are loving the video which has already garnered more than 323K views. As reported by CBC, the living musical exhibits at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts where 70 zebra finches are set loose in an aviary where the only place for them to settle is the strings of 14 electric and bass guitars. Whenever the birds land, music is created which is then amplified through amplifiers stationed around the ivory.
The portal states that visitors are allowed to walk through the exhibition room in small groups. Additionally, they are also asked to remain calm during the visit as even they become a key part of the musical creation. The birds tend to react to their presence and hence a non-tranquil environment can cause a state of frenzy amongst the tiny creatures.
Along with this, the health of the birds is reportedly given utmost importance. A vet regularly visits the place to check on their health. Along with this, the cleanliness of the place is also considered a vital factor. Every morning, a clean-up crew tidies the room.
'What a crazy idea'
The video has received tremendous response on the internet. While some are left in awe, others do not seem to understand the art. Here’s a glimpse at how they are reacting after watching the video:

the birds look WAY comfortable with being in that room and hanging out on those guitars, so i'm gonna guess it's not as loud as the video makes it out to be. love the two preening each other at the end! lil rockstar babies
The replies man. Seems everyone on twitter isn't just an expert on Viruses & Azerbaijan but now we can add bird psychology to the list of things everyone on twitter is an expert on

They're pretty yappy creatures, how do 'well actually' guys know the guitar noise distresses them?

You might think this is a cute video, but birds playing experimental art rock is a sign that they are under immense distress. Sad.

They probably considered using Epiphones, but then thought..."no, these birds are good enough players that it will hold them back". So they got Gibsons....sponsored by Fender.

I accidentally went to this in Montreal and it was both overwhelming and cool and not great sounding all at once.

Birds know how to jam.

Fun concept. But it just sounds like long decay delay with a few random plucks.

Epic. Better than most of Amnesiac. They'll be shocked when one of them starts cracking out Johnny B Goode!
— Andy Pyke (@andy_pyke)
I never knew a bunch of birds would sound like Sonic Youth or all the noise rock bands @WillCrain2 used to listen to in the late 80s!

Is the music piped out of the space? Otherwise, wouldn’t the birds be distressed by the noise?

That is nuts! Would've been interesting if they put a capo on a couple of the guitars lol

Sadly it also sounds like me messing with my electric guitar. Maybe I need more birds....
