Paper Bird Flock: an interactive 3D cursor template
A flock of folded paper birds that flees the cursor like a hawk, or follows it after a click.
Try it: Move to scatter them · click to lead the flock. Open the live Paper Bird Flock full screen.
Where the Paper Bird Flock works best
Travel, nature and sustainability brands, and calm evening-themed heroes.
How it is built
A boids simulation with separation, alignment and cohesion; wings flap in the vertex shader, and the cursor is either a hawk to flee or a leader to follow. The whole effect is plain three.js in one module script. It renders only while it is on screen and caps the pixel ratio on high-density displays to protect performance.
Add it to your website
- Add a Code, Embed or Custom HTML block where the effect should sit (Webflow, Framer, WordPress, GoHighLevel, Shopify or plain HTML).
- Paste the snippet. It is one element and one script; three.js loads from a CDN.
- Edit the colours and words in the settings block, then publish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Paper Bird Flock template free?
Anyone can open it live and try the interaction. Copying the code is included with a Scrollhaus plan.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On touch screens it runs a gentle automatic motion so the scene is never still, and taps trigger the click interaction.
Do I need Spline or three.js experience?
No. It is one HTML element and one module script. Colours, text and images live in a settings block at the top.
