Audubon's Cuvier's Kinglet Bird on Pink Calico 3 Cm Round Badge
This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 55 from Birds of America showcases the enigmatic Cuvier’s Kinglet, also known as Cuvier’s Regulus, perched delicately on a mountain laurel branch adorned with pink blossoms. One of Audubon’s “mystery birds,” the true identity of this species remains unknown to this day. Despite Audubon’s remarkable ability to accurately document over 400 bird species, Cuvier’s Kinglet has never been rediscovered since Audubon (supposedly) collected a specimen in Pennsylvania in 1812, naming it after the famed French zoologist Georges Cuvier.
Audubon described the bird as having a dark forehead with striped markings similar to the Golden-crowned Kinglet, but with a striking red crown. Its resemblance to both the Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets has left ornithologists debating whether it was a unique species, a hybrid, or perhaps a bird that has since gone extinct. The mountain laurel, native to the eastern United States, adds to the charm of this mysterious bird, with its vibrant pink spring blossoms symbolising renewal and beauty.
This fascinating artwork captures the intrigue of Audubon’s ornithological achievements and the mysteries of nature, making it a captivating “one of a kind” piece for bird enthusiasts, art collectors, and those drawn to the stories behind Audubon’s iconic illustrations.

Really great template to create the badge - easy to use, clear and plenty of options. I chose to add my own artwork, and this was pretty easy to do and make adjustments, too. Good value I think too. Especially if ordering a large number. I initially have had one made, to see the quality of the product and speed of service. I will soon be ordering over 100, as the quality was excellent - colours, sharpness, positioning of artwork - all spot-on. And my order arrived pretty quickly as well!

Really nice quality badge. It’s great to wear in public so I don’t need to explain my tics. The badge is a great size and made very well. The pin works well. Nice printing and clear to read.
