Welcome the Year Bird 2026… Birk! Kay Bojesen did the design, you chose the colours. With its natural yet contrasting play of colours, Birk is full of the life-affirming spirit of discovery found in the vast Nordic landscape of endless forests and deep lakes. The colourful head, with its beak in a vibrant aqua and the rest of the head in a striking light green, plays boldly and playfully together with the songbird’s body in a deep green-blue teal, while the distinctive light blue legs complete a truly unique and universal songbird that beautifully and elegantly invites everything from babbling brooks to the treetops – and all the other budding joys of spring – inside. And straight into your heart. A true icon in Danish design, bringing a natural classic elegance and a touch of lush freshness that will fit perfectly anywhere in the home. Birk is produced in a limited edition and engraved with the year. The Year Bird 2026 measures 12.5 cm in height and is slightly smaller than the classic songbird, but just as charming – ready to fly onto the shelf and become part of the collection. And like the other Kay Bojesen songbirds, it is made from FSC®-certified beechwood, which guarantees that the trees used in production are planted, cultivated, and felled responsibly. Naturally, the Year Bird 2026 is finished and painted with great precision and skill, just like all Kay Bojesen’s other figurines. Unique to the year birds, however, is that each has its own year engraved on the tail feather, and this also applies to this year’s splendid example, Birk.
