What Are FQ Bird Stickers?
You found one — now you found us
FQ Bird Stickers are small collectible bird stickers created as part of FeatherQuest — a birding adventure project built around noticing birds, exploring nature, and sharing real-world discovery.
FQ stickers began as one of Mike Marshall’s real bird photographs before being transformed into a simplified cartoon-style bird badge. Each sticker is designed as a stylized version of a real bird encounter, blending photography, illustration, and outdoor adventure into a small collectible keepsake.
FeatherQuest is also sometimes shortened to simply FQ throughout the community, especially on stickers, signs, event materials, and shorthand references online.
If you searched for FQ, FQ stickers, or FQ Bird Stickers, you’re in the right place.

Start Your First Quest
A sticker is a pretty good place to begin

That small moment of curiosity is exactly what FeatherQuest is about.
