Happy 25th Anniversary, Firebird!
Today is a special milestone: Firebird turns 25 (31 July 2000 → 31 July 2025). While we can’t host a physical celebration for everyone, we're bringing the party to you—via music, community, and shared memory.

This year Firebird marks a momentous milestone—25 years since the project began on 31 July 2000, and we’re celebrating in a very special way. Starting today, we'll be releasing a new Firebird-themed song every Thursday on our official Firebird‑songs YouTube channel. Each track reflects a different aspect of the Firebird journey—innovation, community, and legacy . Tune in weekly, stream the music, and help us keep the rhythm of twenty‑five years alive.
In honour of this milestone and the memory of Helen Borrie, The Firebird Book, Second Edition will be made publicly available via the IBPhoenix digital store. Everyone can download the complete edition free of charge — no strings attached.
If you'd like to support Helen’s legacy and the Firebird community, there is an optional pay‑what‑you‑like contribution. Funds will support the organization of the Helen Borrie Memorial Award, recognizing individuals with sustained contributions to the Firebird project.
