Moonbirds is an OG NFT collection that launched with massive hype around pixel-art owls and innovative nesting rewards, but suffered years of mismanagement, unfulfilled promises, and controversial decisions like the CC0 pivot under founders Kevin Rose and Ryan Carson, leading to steep price declines and community erosion. Since acquisition by Orange Cap Games under Spencer's leadership in 2025, the project has seen renewed momentum with clearer direction, TCG integration plans, active community engagement, and a significant price recovery, though trust remains fragile after the previous failures and airdrop execution issues. The collection's strong art and historical significance in the NFT space persist, but its future depends on whether the new team can deliver on promises after years of disappointment.

“Moonbirds are back”The art has always been good, and Mythics is arguably better art. Spencer is the right leader, and Moonbirds will be one of the top projects again. The old guard is out, and the new guard will elevate the space. Here's what you need to know- Spencer advocated for Luca and Pudgies to drop the $PENGU token- that will happen again, at the right time, for Moonbirds. Hit me up on X if you have any questions!

“TOP OF THE LINE ART”Moonbirds was always one of my favorite collections, such a shame that the founders were involved in shady business. Hopefully new management can take it where it belongs.

“Previous founders were incompetent, still on the fence for the new Team”The way Kevin Rose dipped on his community leaves a bad taste and also Ryan Carson blew all the funds on 121G speaks a lot

“A grift”Cool art, but the (ex) founder is a top tier grifter and as a result the community suffered heavy losses. Stay away form this project.

“New team is bringing moonbirds back to the forefront”I was pleasantly surprised to see moonbirds acquired. Spencer and his team are exceptional and I am excited to see how they move the brand forward.

“OG NFT community”Moonbirds was probably probably the NFT with the biggest ammount of whales behind it. I remember that in order to mint it you either had to participate in a presale that was around 2.5E per ticket, or else you would have had to be holding a proof collective NFT that was like 100E at it's peak. The NFT was one of the best in terms of profits once launched but besides that, i dont think their community was strong enough, this is why now the price is totally different.

“So much hype back then, raised tons of funds and gave up”The hype on Moonbirds and Proof Collective was huge back then and the team raised tons of money but easily gave up during the bear. Many of my friends suffered because of their team and lost their investments. Definitely not trusted.

“"Mixed Feelings on Moonbirds"”Honestly, I have pretty mixed feelings about Moonbirds. On one hand, the project started with a ton of hype and some of the best community energy in the NFT space. But for a while, it felt like they overpromised and underdelivered—there was a lot of talk about exclusive experiences and a groundbreaking metaverse, but the reality just didn’t match the expectations. I also remember some security issues that made me question how much the team really prioritized holders. That said, I’m cautiously optimistic about the new direction under Spencer’s leadership. It seems like there’s a genuine effort to revive the brand and bring back some of the excitement that made Moonbirds special in the first place. I’m not sure if it’ll ever fully recapture its early magic, but I do see some positive changes and a more focused vision lately. For now, I’m watching from the sidelines. I hope the new team can turn things around, but I’m definitely more careful about buying into hype after seeing how things played out.

“OCG bring MB back”OCG and Spencer's team brough Moonbird back to life and it's going to be better with a strong community. OCG also raised from both Igloo and Yuga lab from the both seed rounds. You cannot be more bullish of them more than this with seeding from two legendary NFT companies. - Moonbird is back with team building community super hard. - Add AI into art and community has fun - TCG product is already in the market. - Company is already making profit. - Audiences are in both Web 3 and Web 2.

“Where'd all the money go?”Moonbirds feels like it could have been something great. The sheer amount of money that was raise, and that was pumped into the floor could have been used to build one of the biggest NFT brands from last cycle, but instead they let it die. Very disappointing and another stain on NFTs that we'll never forget. It was just purchased by Orange Cap Games, hopefully they can turn the ship around.

“Sulit Percaya Lagi Setelah Semua Ini”Awalnya saya ikut karena hype dan janji besar dari tim tapi makin lama makin terasa arah proyek ini kabur terlalu banyak perubahan mendadak dan komunikasi yang minim bikin makin ragu saya lihat banyak holder lama mulai mundur dan itu bukan tanda baik Harga jatuh bukan masalah utama yang bikin kecewa adalah rasa kehilangan kepercayaan saya tidak melihat roadmap yang jelas dan update yang konsisten bahkan komunitasnya sekarang terasa terpecah dan kurang semangat padahal dulu sempat jadi salah satu yang paling aktif Saya tidak bilang proyek ini mati tapi buat saya pribadi sudah terlalu banyak momen mengecewakan mungkin akan ada perbaikan tapi saya sudah tidak punya energi untuk berharap lagi

“Moonbirds feels alive again, but still risky”I follow Moonbirds for some time already. There was period when project looked kinda “dead” no much activity, price down, community not hyped anymore. But now with Orange Cap and Spencer it feels like maybe smth can happen again. There is reasons to hope, but honestly I wouldnt put big money yet. More like keep it small part of portfolio, cuz risk still high.
