Latest Updates from Our Project:

Budgie Plush Charm
4 months ago – Fri, Apr 17, 2026 at 10:15:09 AM

Hello bird lovers,
Many of you said you wanted some kind of plush when filling out the survey, so I have designed a Manjuu style charm!

This plush ball has a squeaker inside, plus external fabric wings and a tail! These two designs feature a female and male Budgierigar. Be aware the wings will not be stiff/held up at all- rather, they will be flexible.

What do you think of this squeaky Budgie Manjuu? Would you be interested in more like this or perhaps a "pillow style" kind of plush?

New charm + trinket - Scarlet Macaw and Superb Bird of Paradise
4 months ago – Thu, Apr 09, 2026 at 10:14:58 AM

Hello bird lovers!
Theres two weeks left until launch, are you as excited as I am? To celebrate, here are two reveals!

Scarlet Macaw charm
View this bird from above, with moving wings and tail! Pull the bell-chain for both wings to flap together.

Superb Bird of Paradise trinket
This little oval-shaped thick acrylic wiggles back and forth, replicating the birds unique mating dance!

What do you think of these new pieces?

New charm - Blue Crowned Pigeon
5 months ago – Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 11:53:27 AM

Hello bird lovers!
Another design is ready to be revealed- the Blue Crowned Pigeon!

All within this series will have the same type of clasp, but due to the varying perspectives of the birds the bell addition will be different! This is a view from above as the pigeon flies. Both wings flap together when the silver chain with a bell is pulled! The tail will be a wagging attachment as well.

Some parts of this design have clear acrylic for strength such as the crest as we don't want any thin pieces breaking! Other than that though, it is full bleed.

What do you think of this new bird charm? Would you prefer the pieces with the chain also have a bell up top? Let me know in the comments below and don't forget to reccomend the bird you want in the survey (this bird was one of those reccomendations, as will be the rest in this series!)
