Frequently asked questions

It’s a custom poster of your birding life list — the bird species you’ve seen — with each bird drawn as a hand-illustrated portrait. You choose the species and layout, and we print it to order on archival parchment and hand-frame it in solid North American hardwood.

Open the editor, pick your species from the catalog, choose a grid layout, size, and frame color, and add a custom title. You can preview the whole poster live before you buy. When you order, we print, frame, and ship it from the United States.

The catalog has 1,000+ hand-illustrated North American species — every common backyard and feeder bird, every state bird, notable raptors, warblers, shorebirds, and dozens of rare and extinct species. Every bird is drawn in the same style so any combination looks cohesive.

It depends on the grid layout you choose, from a 2×2 (4 birds) up to a 10×10 (100 birds). Larger sizes carry bigger grids comfortably, so a lifetime list and a short backyard list both have a natural home.

Five sizes: 8×10 ($39), 12×18 ($79), 16×20 ($99), 18×24 ($129), and 24×36 ($199). Framing is included in every price.

Every poster is hand-framed in solid North American hardwood. Choose Black, Natural, or White — all frame colors are included at no extra cost.

Yes. You can title the poster and add a subtitle — your name, your home patch, a big-year label, a family name, or whatever the birds mean to you. It’s part of what makes each poster one of a kind.

Because each poster is printed and framed to order, please allow roughly 1–2 weeks from order to delivery within the US.

Shipping is free on the 18×24 and 24×36 sizes, and a flat $9.99 on the 8×10, 12×18, and 16×20.

Not yet — we currently ship within the United States only.

Posters are printed at high resolution on archival parchment for depth and longevity, then hand-framed in solid North American hardwood — not a lightweight plastic frame.

Because each poster is printed uniquely for you, we can’t accept returns on undamaged orders. If your poster arrives damaged, email a photo to support@mybirdwall.com within 7 days of delivery and we’ll make it right.

It’s one of the best gifts for a birder, because it’s personal and it’s something they can’t easily buy for themselves. You can design the poster yourself as a gift, or let them pick their own birds.

Checkout is handled securely by Stripe, and you’re charged at checkout. You can build and preview your entire poster for free before deciding to buy.
