Orange Bird Sleeping on Flocked Pillow

This charming pin features the beloved Orange Bird, a classic character originally created in 1970 for the Florida Citrus Commission to promote orange juice at Walt Disney World. The design depicts the whimsical, fruit-headed bird sleeping peacefully on a textured, flocked pillow, capturing a cozy and tranquil moment. This pin is part of the 'Plush Pillows' series, which translates the tactile, soft aesthetic of plush toys into a collectible metal format. As an Open Edition release available at Disneyland Resort, Disney Store, and Walt Disney World, it offers an accessible way for collectors to celebrate this iconic piece of theme park history. The use of flocking on the pillow adds a unique sensory element that distinguishes it from standard enamel pins. Orange Bird remains a perennial favorite among pin traders due to his deep roots in the Sunshine Tree Terrace attraction at Magic Kingdom. The pin features a classic mickey-waffle backstamp, which is a standard detail for authentic Disney pins of this era. Its design is both nostalgic and endearing, making it a staple for collectors who focus on mascot characters or park-exclusive icons. Whether displayed on a corkboard or a lanyard, the Orange Bird Sleeping on Flocked Pillow serves as a sweet tribute to one of Disney’s most enduring and recognizable promotional characters.
