We hope you’re enjoying the summer and maybe even catching a glimpse of some of your favorite birds out in the wild! This month, we have an important update regarding the manufacturing of the 4 Bird Games and how recent global trade developments may impact production.

A New Flight Path for Manufacturing
As many of you know, the ongoing U.S.–China trade tensions and recent tariff changes have created significant challenges for creators and manufacturers alike. In response to this evolving landscape, Panda Manufacturing—our trusted production partner—is expanding its printing capabilities with a new facility in Brazil.
This development presents an exciting opportunity: the potential to move production of the Bird Series out of China. Not only could this shift help us avoid the heavy and unpredictable tariffs currently affecting U.S.-bound goods, but it may also protect us from recent disruptions in ocean freight shipping.
What This Means for the Project
We’re currently in discussions with Panda to determine whether the Bird Games could be among the first projects produced at their new Brazilian facility. If so, it could significantly reduce our costs and improve overall logistics. Ensuring not only the success of this project but of the future ones to come.
However, this change may also introduce a delay to our original manufacturing timeline. We want to be transparent with you: while this could slightly impact our expected delivery window, we believe it is the best path forward for the health of this project—and for our company’s ability to deliver high-quality games for years to come.
We’ll keep you updated as our meetings with Panda continue, and timelines become clearer. Thank you for your continued support, patience, and passion. We’re so grateful to have such a kind and understanding flock of backers. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!
