Vote for your favourite! The two most voted designs will be unlocked when the campaign reaches £2,000. Voting closes on 29 May at 3:00 PM US/Pacific Time. The mini pins are hard enamel with 1 inch size.
I just sent out the smoke tests for the surveys; hooray!
This means five percent of you got a survey. Be sure to fill it out if this is you, otherwise if all is well, I should be sending out the survey to everyone else in a couple days!
If anything is up with the surveys, you can email my help line, [email protected]
You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for getting your surveys filled out so incredibly fast. You always help make this entire process as streamlined as possible, and I am deeply grateful to every single one of you.
Here is a quick look at where we stand and what comes next:
Production Timeline
Production Start: Everything is officially locked in and set to begin this coming Monday.
Estimated Completion: Tentatively, we are looking at production wrapping up by the end of July or early August.
Shipping & Add-On Charges
To ensure we can get your orders shipped out the absolute moment they arrive, add-on fees and shipping costs will be charged around July 17th. Charging at this time ensures the funds are cleared and available so there are zero delays on the shipping line.
⚠️ Failed Payments Action Required
We still have a couple of backers with failed payments on file.
Please try to get your payment information updated by Monday.
To prevent BackerKit from continuously trying to hit your card, I will be manually canceling any remaining failed orders at that time.
Thank you all again for your incredible support and for being such a fantastic community. I look forward to bringing you more exciting updates very soon!
We are officially sending the first of the surveys!! This is something called the smoke test to make sure there are no issues, where surveys only go out to a small number of people. If everything goes well with these first ones, everyone else will be sent their survey in the next couple of days! ✅ YIPPEE!!!
Please make sure to keep the campaign story page open to the 'About this Campaign' color list while you fill out your survey if you bought 1" stickers or pins! This will help to make sure you get the right colors. The grid aligns perfectly with the image so you'll be able to match the colors to their names!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
You can also add additional items to your survey at this time! FYI any money spent on the survey (including shipping fees) will not be collected for at least a month. 💸 So you have plenty of time to add any items you would like! You will also be able to update your survey after you first fill it out if you need to. We will send out another update when surveys are being locked! 🔒
Everyone has automatically had a 'Be Who You Are' and 'Bird Stack' sticker added to their pledge! 🤑 If you were a qualifying backer, you have also had one or both of the free pins added as well! Just a reminder that if you are a sticker only pledger, you will NOT be receiving free pins due to shipping costs! 📬 You will get the free stickers though!!
Thank you all again! 💖 Please comment on this post if you have any questions at all. We are SOOO excited to start getting you your birds! We're also very interested to see what colors people are the most interested in (maybe we'll make a graph just for fun). 👀

(P.S. If you know anyone who would love some birds but missed the campaign, tell them to check out our pre-order store!!)
Exciting News! Survey smoke test just went out and soon everyone will receive an email from us with a link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
With surveys we also kick off the backerkit pre-order store which you can visit directly. If you missed the campaign this is your last chance to take advantage of our campaign pricing.
Important reminders:
✔️ We currently have 17 failed pledges in BackerKit. If your payment did not go through, please log in to update your payment method so your rewards can be secured and prepared for fulfillment.
✔️ Check your credit card info. Cards will be charged for shipping and any add-ons you’ve selected. Please make sure your information is up to date to avoid any delays!
✔️ Double-check your shipping address. Addresses will lock shortly after the deadline.

Just a quick update to let you all know that surveys have started rolling out! They will close on July 6th at 11:59PM CST, so be sure to fill yours out by then to guarantee you get the rewards you want.
Cards won't charge for survey add-ons/shipping until pins are finished and on their way to me. And you'll still be able to edit your address after surveys close.
Reminder for backers with failed pledge payments— If there is no successful payment by June 29th at 11:59PM CST, your pledge will be considered abandoned and will be canceled. You will also be put on my blacklist and will be blocked by Backerkit staff from supporting any of my future campaigns.
Yes, I will still cancel your failed payment pledge even if you fill out the survey. Payment is required by the above deadline to keep your pledge.
