Meet Birk and the story behind the Bird of the Year. Birk is a colorful tribute to the Nordic landscape, featuring a bright green head, an aquamarine blue beak, and a deep green-blue body that reflects spring, the forest floor, and the lakeshore. The light blue legs complete the look, which radiates playfulness and joy of life. Birk is produced in a limited quantity and engraved with the year. The Bird of the Year is slightly smaller than the classic songbird but just as charming. Since the summer of 2021, we have been allowing consumers to vote for the Bird of the Year, and in 2025, Birk emerged victorious. This places it alongside Poppy, Jackie, Flora, Bella, and now Birk.
