Once, Get painted a metal bird black, and hid it stealthily among the top branches of one of Wroclaw's oaks. For birds only.

Another time, he sculptured his face in an old paving-stone and then, at night, he set the stone back into the pavement in one of Wroclaw's streets. His face is on the bottom; Get has never revealed the location of the stone. He says that it is his sign of covenant with the city.
