Hi everybirdie!

I just received the pins, everything arrived safely! I'm planning on starting fulfillment next week. Since there's over 500 of you, it may take a week or two to prepare and package everything. I'm really excited to finally get these birdies out to you. 

Notice: This week I'm counting and grading your pins. I wanted to give a heads up that I'm vending at a convention this weekend, and I will be taking some overstock of Birds of Rotterdam with me to sell. I really don't like doing this, as it is my priority to get your pins out to you as soon as possible. However, due to the scale of the campaign, I won't be able to do so this time, and taking some overstock with me does directly help me pay for my rent and upcoming office move. There will be no risk of overselling - all the pins intended for the campaign plus an error margin will be counted out and left at my office. 
If you're really bothered by this decision, let me know and I will do my best to have your rewards out before I go to the con. Thank you for understanding <3

If you are at AnimeCon Rijswijk this weekend, I can bring your rewards with me. Please let me know by Thursday if you'd like to pick them up at the convention! 

One of the color concerns I had on the factory photos was the Eurasian Jay. Here's what he looks like in daylight:

The face did turn out a little more yellow than intended, but I'm not extremely bothered by it. I won't opt for a remake at this time. If you selected the Eurasian jay but you don't like the final pin, please contact me for a solution.

If your order contains socks and/or a hair claw, we are still waiting on those to arrive, so your order will have to wait a little bit longer to ship.

If you backed our partner project Frogtastic Frogs, and you want combined shipping, make sure your Frogtastic Frogs survey is set to "Local Pickup". I will email you this week to double check if I have everything on file correctly.
Since Frogtastic Frogs are still in production, combined shipping orders will be on hold until these are done.

There are still 6 of you with a completely failed pledge. If you still want to receive your rewards at campaign price, please resolve your payment and fill in your survey by the end of the week.

There are 24 errored cards for shipping costs and add-ons. Please resolve this by the end of the week, otherwise I can't ship your rewards! If you need add-ons removed from your pledge to make it work, let me know. 

I think that's all for now! Have a lovely day!
