Pipa birds represented a type of avian species that originated on the world of Batuu. The sounds they produced were audible in locations like Black Spire Outpost and the surrounding woodlands following daybreak. Certain inhabitants of Batuu kept pipa birds as domesticated animals or for various other purposes.
The concept of pipa birds was developed for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This attraction was unveiled to visitors at Disneyland on May 31, 2019. Though not physically visible within the park itself, recordings of the birds' vocalizations are played in specific zones.
