Hi, I'm Poayo- a lifetime artist and ⭐️4.98/5 Etsy seller! I've had pet birds since I was 16 and always enjoy seeing and hearing them outdoors. My loved ones and I have our own favorite birds in this campaign, but I would like to create your favorites too! Feel free to fill out this form to suggest the bird you want to see.
This campaign focuses on full-bleed acrylic charms with moveable wings and tails, but other fun pieces are also included! I hope you enjoy seeing what Flapping Birds has to offer.
You can cancel or adjust your pledge at any time, and will only be charged after the campaign ends. After which you will recieve a Backerkit survey where you can choose the designs, make any final changes, and pay for shipping.
The amount of birds I am able to create depends on the amount invested into the campaign. If you pledge for a high amount in order to get a variety make sure check in near the end of the campaign to be aware of which were unlocked and to change your pledge accordingly. This also means unlocks can be undone.
Includes the Resplendant Quetzal and Blue Crowned pigeon charms, along with a small Superb Bird of Paradise thick wiggly standee. Includes the California Condor and Scarlet Macaw charms, plus the Budgie Manjuus
Includes the Eurasian Magpie and American Kestrel charms, plus a suncatcher bundle Includes the Raven, Shima-enaga, and Turquoise Browed Motmot charms Includes 2 Flapping Bird Charms, 2 Wooden Pins, 1 Sticker Bundle, and 1 large Sticker
If your favorite bird did not get designed or you just want to guarantee an unlock, you can pledge for a special Sponsor Tier. This is of course limited to birds (though if you do want to commission something else just contact me). If you plan on ordering a sponsored tier make sure to read the description as it contains very important information! They are also limited, so if you are interested, make sure to reserve a slot sooner rather than later.
Once someone has purchased any of these tiers and the artwork is complete, it will become available for everyone to get as if it was a stretch goal unlock. So not only do you get yourself your favorite bird by getting a Sponsor Tier, but you can allow others to as well! The Backerkit funds for purchasing these tiers goes directly into unlocking the other pins in the campaign.
There are lots of fun other bird merch found within this campaign in the add ons section after selecting your tier! Includes both unlockable stretch goals and available items. You can find the sticker freebies here too if you were unable to earn them or just want more.

Your payment will go through when the ordering period ends. You must fill out the survey sent out 16 days after the end of the campaign ASAP or else the items can not be sent as this will determine which designs you recieve. If I can not reach you before the manufacturer ships the pins to me your pledge will be concidered a donation. Please make sure your account information is accurate- especially your email and address!
Once the campaign has ended refunds will not be possible, however additions can be made during the survey period. If there are any issues with your order please reach out to me and I will do my best to fix any problems or flaws present.
Pay Over Time This optional toggle during payment after the campaign ends allows you the ability to gradually pay off what you would like to spend in this campaign across 4 months if you pledge over $150 USD. You can only recieve your survey on which designs you would like after you fully pay it off- this means your timeline for both your survey and your shipment will be delayed until payments are complete. Partial payments can not be refunded.
The cost of shipping will be charged after surveys are complete and after the campaign- you will not see this cost in your total until later! Most items will be shipped through PirateShip in a hand decorated bubble mailer or small box depending on amount and type of items ordered. If you only get stickers, you can expect a stamped envelope and cheaper shipping cost.
If you are not in the USA, I recommend finding others that are interested in the same country and doing a group order. This is where one person puts in the order of multiple people so you can split the shipping cost between everyone, and then after it arrives they ship the items out to the others using the cheaper domestic shipping.
The following estimated shipping rates are all in USD and for the average order size.
USA: $5 to $7
Canada: $18 to $19
Elsewhere: $19 to $25+
As Backerkit does not handle them, you may be subject to tariffs/import taxes, VAT, or handling fees. If returned due to an incorrect address or unpaid customs fees there will be a reshipping cost. Both of these will be your responsibility to pay in order to recieve your package. Changes to tariffs or shipping rates may affect both the pin creation itself and shipping to you- keep in mind I will be shipping from the USA.
As someone interested in this campaign, you probably like birds as much as I do! So I figured I would introduce my own pets here as they will be recieving new treats and toys thanks to this campaign. Pimba This fluffy old man is a pearl pied cockatiel of an estimated 24 years- he's a rescue bird older than me! He has his own made-up song we assume is a mix up of what ones he used to know and is very cuddly. He has arthritis and came to us missing a toe, so he has special perches to sit on and can no longer fly. Mochi This cutie is a 6 year old lutino cockatiel and the most talkative. He often says "I love you" and his favorite game is "Peekaboo!". Mochi understands what he says- he chirps a "Hi" or "Hello" when he sees someone! He is often seen asking for pets or singing. Mochi absolutely adores Pimba, often found singing to him with heart wings, watching him, and overall being protective. He even learned Pimba's entire song! If Pimba is going somewhere, Mochi must go too- else panic ensues. Nimbus This tiny guy is a 6 year old budgie- the most nimble of the bunch. Nimbus is pretty much always chattering- throwing in some random cockatiel noises or words between the budgie chirps. He loves the cockatiels and tends to follow them around, especially Mochi. If he doesn't know where they are he replicates their flock call!
