Also when I went on a trip to Singapore, I found that the game is crazy popular there. You could find plush toys of the birds and pigs just about anywhere as well as shirts, iPhone covers, and napkins, and in the airport they even had a display dedicated to them and you could win a free plush bird by spending $50 on your visa in the airport stores.
Might be because from what I saw, close to half the entire population had iPhones :O
