BIRD 2026
Birmingham International Race Days
31st Jan & 1st Feb
Presented by

The best Tiny Whoop pilots from across the globe are all coming to Birmingham UK for a micro drone racing showdown like no other!
A party with a prize giving, this drone race puts the fun in FPV.
Who is going to take the glory this year?
The BIRD title has flown across the pond, but not without the most closely fought finals in BIRD history. Latvia's ReeFPV has his sights set on knocking Nightwing off the top spot. But will the UK be able to step up and win it back? With stiff competition from Italy, Germany, Poland and others, this year will no doubt be an incredible competition!
