Poll Results UNLOCKED for the Free Pin! Pledge to get your freebie pin!

Wow you guys absolutely want to see the Crested Pigeon in a metallic medium! Here is a more finished render of the final piece <3 It will be on a dark nickel metal, which will allow those colours to really pop!
When my manu makes a render, I will update you all on it!

Electroplated effects looks a bit like this- And because the mold itself is designed for hard enamel production, I spoke with my manu about how to distinguish the tail feathers, there will be a few changes to the initial design to make it blend seamlessly:
  1. An additional outline will be across the entire pin, giving it a textured outline and touch! I feel this will make it a nice sensory item as well as putting stronger contrast between the different techniques needed for this
  2. The whites of the wings and tail are removed, as there will be a very defined difference between the enamel paint and electroplated surface that would make it look a bit too chaotic, so I removed those to opt for a full rainbow plumage on the wings and tail!
  3. The front body remains the main form of enamel pigment, and will allow it to pop out from the rest of the bird
It has also become available as an add-on for those who want extras! And at a small discount for this campaign.
We are also super close to the next stretch goal, and would love to see the fat lil' parrot get unlocked at $5000! A huge thank you for everyone who has pledged so far, and if you haven't pledged yet feel free to check out the freebies you can get so far attached in this update and the Cross Collab and Freebie section of my campaign!

Thank you for all your support so far, I look forward to keep creating with you!

Introduction of Micro-goals! Updated Stretch goals, maybe Brid Pride Flag Keychains and Pins?
4 months ago – Sat, Jan 31, 2026 at 04:52:06 AM

Hey everyone! Small update here, from Doodle!

Sorry for the slow-ish updates, but I plan to slowly work at it and expand the variety of things to offer in this campaign!

To offer more variety, a few micro-goals have been placed between the larger tiers! I hear people want more birds, I have made some adjustments so that there are unlockable items between the larger milestones!

The one I would love to know is what you would think about Australian Ravens holding a pride flag of choice, what flags you would want to see and what medium you would want to see it on (keychain, pin). Otherwise, enjoy the updated list so far! It is updated to $6500 so far though some of the images are placeholders!, but will definitely make more progress on microgoals if we start reaching over $4500!

Repeating this a million times, and my sincerity will always be the same. Thank you so much for your support, pledges and making these silly brids come to life! It brings me so much joy to see others enjoying them and bringing these to life to everyone. Your pledges 

Also wanted to share some lovely images of keychains that will become available as options from the pledges! I can see the endless 50/50s and a big interest in Victorian Crowned Pigeon and Swift Parrot in some of the polls, so I have already prepared some epoxy keychains to become available!
I really hope to make these pins, but my manu is absolutely amazing and had these prepared so no one would miss out on the variety of brids to come :)



And then other reminders about freebies :)
More Collab Birdie Freebies! - Ash and I have made TWO freebies each for those who back both our projects! In other words, two FREE pins and two FREE stickers!!
Click here to find Ash and follow their project!
More details on their freebies can be found in this update!

I'm also super sick atm but we may be planning a way to have all US shipments from both projects be combined to reduce shipping cost!

Washi Tape Unlocked! 1 Backer away from 100 Pledges! More updates
4 months ago – Fri, Jan 30, 2026 at 06:01:10 AM

Hi everyone!

Doodle here, wow a lot happened in the last 24 hours!
We are 1 backer away from 100 pledges! This is amazing, I am blown away! And we are nearly $500 away from the next stretch goal!

Here's an updated list of everything unlocked so far and our progress towards the next goal!
With your pledge, we have unlocked:
  1. All the original 6 Brids of Australia
  2. Community nominated; Australian Albatross as the next pin
  3. Community nominated; SHUT Seagull meme as a new keychain
  4. Pidove (Regular colour!)
  5. Community nominated; Swift Parrot as the next pin
  6. Community nominated; Common Bronzewing as the new keychain
  7. UV Reactive Pin "Praise the Sun!" as a little reminder to be sun safe :) available now as a pledge, or a discounted add-on
  8. FREE Community nominated pin unlocked for all backers! (Voting closing really soon!)
  9. A free roll of washi tape for each backer for reaching 5000 Engagement points!
Existing freebies that you can still unlock are:
A free set of exclusive pins and polaroid stickers from me and FleaCircusDesigns if both our projects are backed!
And backing three or more projects under the Pin Safari Banner gets you an exclusive polaroid sticker!

We are making steady progress towards the next stretch goal, which is currently in favor of:
The Victorian Crowned Pigeon and the Mega Chonky Orange Bellied Parrot!
With interest in the mega chonky parrot in particular as a keychain, I will potentially look into making a slightly "in-between" stretch goal, potentially moving it to $5000 Pin, $5300 Keychain unlock, $5650 for a colour variant unlock, this would put a slightly bigger gap in between goals but give more options of trinkets! But would love to hear what people think, it may increase stretch goals overall but give a little more leeway in producing more items!

We are so close to $5000! Polls open for final design!

UV Reactive Pin "Praise the Sun" unlocked as a Pledge Level and Add-On!
4 months ago – Wed, Jan 28, 2026 at 02:18:13 AM

Hello everyone, Doodle here!
It is now possible to add Praise the Sun as an add-on to your purchase or as an individual pledge tier!
Before I get into some of the details, a quick reminder with links:
  1. There is a community discussion page for the final design of the Orange Bellied Parrot!
  2. Backing both Brids of Australia and Tiny Birds Big Hearts gives you a special free pin from me and Ash!
  3. All polls have been pinned on the community page!
  4. Engaging with the community gains points to unlock a free roll of washi tape with your backing!

We are steadily reaching $5000, once we hit the stretch goal, the poll will close for deciding the next Brid of Australia! We are so close to reaching 100 backers, let's aim for $5000 and the next Brid of Australia!

To the juicy stuff!
This Pin is discounted to $20 (From $25) as the base pledge for this campaign!
Tier 1 (1 Brid Pin/Keychain) Pledges gives you a $1 discount ($19)
Tier 2 (3+ Brid Pn/Keychain Bundles, Awebo Plush, Base UV Pin Pledge) is discounted to $18!
A little about this pin:


I've chosen a palette of oranges it can potentially transition into from yellow! The backing and outline of the writing, the sun and the brids will all be in gold metal, with UV reactive pigment filled in everywhere else.
A rotating mechanism allows the sun to rotate, making it the ideal fidget toy as well as a decorative pin.

I've placed discounted pricing in add-ons, and standard pricing for a regular pledge!

It is approximately 9 cm H total, 5 cm wide. This is a large pin, but smaller variants cost the same so I opted for a larger one :) It's fastened by two butterfly clips to give it a sturdy hold to your ita bags, daily wear and use!
