About Bird Stock
Bird operates as a dockless electric scooter company developing a vehicle sharing platform.

The scooters are available in 100+ cities in Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Bird offers three vehicles: Bird Two, Bird One and Bird Cruiser.
In March 2020, Bird laid off around 30% of its workforce due to uncertainty caused by the pandemic.
