ONE OF THE SMARTEST BIRDS · mirror-genius
A Series of Laugh and Grow
Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.
Chubby & Full of Character
Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.
Bold, glossy and brilliantly clever, the Eurasian magpie is far more than a handsome black-and-white bird. A member of the crow family, it ranks among the most intelligent animals alive — and famously became one of the very few non-mammals to recognize its own reflection.
A Genius in Feathers
Magpies are corvids, the family that includes crows and ravens, and share their remarkable intelligence — using tools, planning ahead, and solving problems that stump most animals.
The Mirror Test
In a landmark experiment, magpies recognized a mark on their own bodies using a mirror — a sign of self-awareness once thought unique to great apes, dolphins and a handful of others.
Not Really Black and White
Look closely and the ‘black’ feathers shimmer with iridescent blues, greens and purples — a hidden rainbow in the wings, beautifully captured on this figure.
Bold and Curious
Confident around people and endlessly inquisitive, magpies are a familiar, characterful presence across the Old World — here rounded into a plump, clever companion.
