@erikaleetv recently delved into the story behind @moonbirds in an interview,

The recent price increase of Moonbirds is not a coincidence, but rather a combined effort of community culture, market environment, and team strategy.

Key reasons:

Firstly, the community's energy has strengthened, especially after the new team Orange Cap Games took over, establishing a long-term goal called “Birbhalla” that has attracted many people;

Secondly, the market environment has improved, with Ethereum prices rising, consequently lifting the dollar value of Moonbirds;

Thirdly, the cultural narrative has changed, becoming “birbish” (a community culture meme), giving holders a greater sense of belonging.

In simple terms, the price increase is driven by a dual push from the community and the market, truly a “birds' comeback story.”
