Welcome to The Joy of Birds—a cozy little corner of the internet run by an Asian-American millennial who describes herself as a budding birder and long-time bird lover.
Values
Our core values are Kindness, Curiosity, Creativity, Honesty, and Joy. We love uplifting small businesses & makers, especially underrecognized communities of BIPOC women. We’re also learning how to take better care of our Earth, our neighbors, and our beloved birds. Everyone is welcome in this space.
Intentions
We’re here to share our joy! And our joy lies in finding delight in all things birds — we’re talking about not only actual birds, but everything bird-inspired. Artwork, stationery, documentaries, stories (there’s a special place in our heart for children’s books), beautiful things, silly things, all the bird things.
We hope to grow our journal into a sustainable source of livable income, and you’ll see affiliate links and possible future collaborations. We promise to share thoughtfully and responsibly — to not add to the mind-boggling fast pace of consumerism, but to slow down… to discover, to learn, and to cherish.
As our journal grows, we plan on donating a portion of our revenue to support bird conservation and advocacy groups. We promise to be transparent throughout the journey and stay true to our values.
Current Projects
We currently pour our hearts into this journal and a few other new projects.
The Joy of Birds Youtube - With a background in video production, we always wanted to create healing and meditative videos that celebrate the beauty of birds. We hope these videos bring you joy and a moment of calm.
Bird Lady Vintage - If you are located in northern Virginia, we have a vintage booth inside It’s Bazaar on 21st St. We also sell kooky bird prints online.
The Dream
The Joy of Birds has been years & years in the making inside our little mind. We have big dreams of sharing even more joy in creative ways, and we’re excited about the endless possibilities. For now, we’re starting small and where we can.
