Griffinch plushes, stickers, and keychains are available NOW in my online store!

(If Etsy glitches and the items don't show up, please refresh the page to see the items.)

[avian-aves]

A reminder that Griffinch plushes, stickers, and keychains will be available starting TOMORROW at 7pm EST!!

A post with some information, including on questions I've been asked...

In consideration for those who missed the crowd funding campaign, the plushes will be the crowdfunded price of $35 for the first 48 hours after the shop opens. After that period, the price will go up to $40 to account for Etsy’s fees.

This is not all of the remaining stock!! I am withholding some stock with the hopes that I can sell some at in-person events, but there's a high chance that they'll end up in my store in a few months. If a Griffinch plush you want sells out fast, you'll have another chance!

There are four special Griffinches that will be available. They came with a missing wing or tail, and I sewed them replacements using soft fluffy fabric. They're unique and are looking for their new homes!

There will also be B-grade plushes available for $25 each. They have minor errors, but are still very cute 🐥✨

Thank you all for your support!!

With the opening two days away, I wanted to showcase the discounted B-grade griffinch plushes! These will be cheaper than the standard plushes to account for minor errors. However, they are still very cute and would love to find a home!

The minor errors also make them unique, so you'll have a one-of-a-kind plush 🐥✨

In addition to the griffinch plushes, there are other cute griffinch items that will be available 🐥✨

I wish there was a zebra finch hero 🐥✨ A hero fueled by the power of cute birds

("kinka" is the short version of the Japanese word for zebra finch, "kinkachou")

Philippine Collared-Dove (Streptopelia dusumieri). Declining in their home range (Philippines), but quite common in villages of the Northern Mariana Islands where they were introduced sometime in the 1700s. Now considered naturalized, they're charming & sort of goofy with their hoarse cooing from the power lines and coconut palms.

Health issues are finally calming down, so I’m back to working on online store preparations! There are four special griffinches who needed “prosthetics” made, since they initially were missing pieces. They’re extra special and will be available 🐥✨

Ga'ga karisu, Saipan Reed-Warbler (Acrocephalus hiwae) is a critically endangered species found in the Northern Mariana Islands. Though few remain due to habitat loss, they fill the air with their rich melodic songs in those places where they can still hold on.

Their closest relative, the Nightingale Reed-Warbler of Guam, is extinct due to habitat loss and the invasive brown tree snake.
