Stripe payment progress: We're getting there!
4 months ago – Sun, Feb 15, 2026 at 11:23:57 PM

Hey everyone!
Doodle here,
Hopefully emails have settled down a bit, just a quick check in as some payments still haven't gone through! The sooner everyone is able to make their payments, the sooner I can begin production!
For those who may want to add anything onto their order, the surveys coming out after payment will give you access to any add-ons which also go towards stretch goals!
The pre-order shop is also open for anyone who wants to try unlock some things that we fell a bit short of!
Can you help us unlock these two designs? I would adore seeing these come to life and Pidove only needs 28 more orders to be achieved! The Orange Bellied Parrot needs 38 more orders!
Order below! They can be shipped with your fulfilment as well to save on shipping!

Thank you again for your ongoing support, let's get these extra birdies unlocked!

Thank you for a successful project! Next Steps

Reminders from the previous update: 

To both celebrate 350 followers and the success of this project, there is a live giveaway pinned on my Instagram that will close on 1/4/2026 at 11:59 pm AEDT!

It is currently limited to AU only, but stay tuned! May open an international one down the line!

The pre-order store has officially opened! Use the code FREESTICKER in the first 48 hours to get a random sticker from my store!

Help us unlock these two! 

These pins also weren't unlocked during the campaign, but with your support these will be made after a number of them are purchased! A lot of stickers are also available!


A few things need to happen before we can commence production and fulfillment:


1. Backerlit needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to two weeks).
2. An earlier update around affordable shipping was posted recently, at the point of funds being collected, a survey will be sent out to everyone to start planning with FleaCircus the most affordable way to fulfil everyone's orders! Estimates were calculated in that update, but note that these are ESTIMATES and variations due to duties, taxes and tariffs may still unexpectedly influence the final cost of shipment.
3. I'll give you a heads-up before sending the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.     
4. If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on the BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
5. Answering your survey help us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge reward shipments.
6. If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your crowdfunding account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me at [email protected]

2 HOURS TO GO! Can we make a final push?
4 months ago – Thu, Feb 12, 2026 at 11:20:14 AM

Hi everyone!

Wow less than two hours left to go, I'm so thankful for your support!
For those who haven't pledged yet, any pledge (minus support pledge) will get you freebies and campaign exclusive pricing!
  1. A FREE community-voted electroplated pin valued at $15, also available as a discounted add-on for $14 for this campaign!
  2. A FREE roll of washi tape valued at $6
  3. Backing 3+ Banners under Pin Safari will get you an exclusive sticker valued at $4.5
  4. Backing Brids of Australia and Tiny Birds Big Hearts will get you an exclusive pin and sticker from each of us! My freebies are valued at $19.5!
  5. A unique rotary, UV reactive Pin measuring 4 x 4 cm (for the sun) and 5 x 4.7cm for the main body that is available as a discounted pledge level, or further discounted as an add-on! Available for $18-$20 on this campaign only!
Pledging for one pin will get you $20 worth of freebies! If you've backed FleaCircus and myself, this jumps up to nearly $40 just on my end!

Even better, to reduce freight costs between Australia (and NZ) and US (and Canada), me and FleaCircus will be helping to fulfil orders for each other!
More information can be seen in this post!
The numbers are all estimates and may have variations but we have calculated that overall, everyone will save a lot of money on shipping!

We've nearly reached the goal for the Orange Bellied Parrot! Can we make it in the next 101 minutes?

Thank you again endlessly for your support

24 HOURS TO GO! Pre-order store open + GIVEAWAY! Plus future project + Poll!
4 months ago – Wed, Feb 11, 2026 at 01:21:03 PM

Hi everyone,
Doodle here!
Thank you for making my project a reality! For those who unpledged but want the Early Bird and weren't sure if they'd get it if they came back, the Worm has returned! Just comment on this update and I will include the early bird on your order as a thank you for your pledges :) You still have time to also add anything onto your orders, with the main line unlocked and steady progress into unlocking the next pin!

To both celebrate 350 followers and the success of this project, there is a live giveaway pinned on my Instagram that will close on 1/4/2026 at 11:59 pm AEDT!


The pre-order store has officially opened! Use the code FREESTICKER in the first 48 hours to get a random sticker from my store!


Then a little bit about a future project, mainly to let people vote while this is still active! It will probably take a few months to a year to organize something a bit more formal for this project (this one took 3 months to build, whew!), the art is not finalized at all but I would love to see what people think and vote for to see if any particular birds capture people's whimsy


(also for wallet reasons this will be way down the line but ambition got to me and I already made the launching page-)

And then a few other things:

TWO DAYS TO GO! $4500 keychain design UNLOCKED! Survey info coming soon!
4 months ago – Tue, Feb 10, 2026 at 02:08:16 PM

Hi everyone,

Doodle here again, there's only two days to pledge and get more designs! I know there's probably a big flood of notifications coming in, and I appreciate everyone's support so much!
There's still time to reach our stretch goal of $5000, and don't forget that there are a bunch of freebies to those who haven't backed yet!
There is still time to get:
1. A free pin AND sticker if you back me and FleaCircusDesigns
2. A free roll of washi tape!
3. A free community voted electroplated pin!
4. A free polaroid sticker if you back 3+ campaigns under the Pin Safari Banner!
Pledges made during the campaign will get these things!

These are the designs I went with to start on the keychain design, what do people think? It would be so cute as a reel badge but that would be a lot more expexxy
There will be a promotion throughout the first 48 hours of the pre-order store opening! (and then another one that will last a week after the pre-order store opens! And surveys will be sent out after the campaign, so keep an eye out in your emails for updates in the next few days! Production will begin as soon as I get the funds from backerlit :)

Thank you so much to everyone who has backed, you've bought this project to life and I hope to keep creating for you!
I have a ton of projects I want to make, and with your support anything is possible! If you do want to keep up to date, I am most active on my Instagram! There is also a giveaway running live, which will be officially announced on this platform with the launch of the pre-order shop!
