25.01.2022 Make some king parrots with Tim!

24.01.2022 We will have TWO types of cockatiels in tonight’s release - a classic grey cockatiel and a lutino cockatiel! The grey acrylic is a little softer than our previous design, which works really well with their soft pastel yellow heads. A little pop of pastel raspberry finishes the look and I can’t get enough of this cuteness! TONIGHT 7:30pm QLD time

23.01.2022 Marble acrylic goodness Bright colours and beautiful texture, for a bit of glam and a bit of wow-factor, all mixed together with our signature cute-as-can-be design! These are the classic green cheek conure earrings and the pineapple conure studs Thursday 7:30pm

22.01.2022 It’s happening tonight!! Brooches are being restocked at 7:30pm Brisbane time. We’ve spent weeks preparing these goodies for you with love and care and we hope there’s enough for everyone to grab their favourite! These are statement brooches with a unique playfulness to them, and each has the beautiful addition of some native Aussie flora (waratah, wattle, gum blossoms or gum nuts). Some tips and final details: For a speedy checkout, sign up for an account (you can a...lso earn Feathers for our rewards program this way, win win!)

20.01.2022 The always charming galah, sitting amongst some shiny, golden wattle Brooches returning to the store tomorrow night at 7:30pm

19.01.2022 Thank you all so much for your amazing response to this collection, I’m so thrilled there are so many conure lovers and parrot earring enthusiasts out there! Conures have such beautiful and unique feathering, they are really the perfect muse This is my Kevin in earring form, the yellow-sided turquoise conure I love the sweet lemon pastel colour with little pop of peach. They are of course very special to me but they also make a unique statement accessory for any wardrobe, and you can almost hear his grumbles in your ear throughout the day

19.01.2022 Crest goals Australian red-tailed black cockatoos are coming back next Monday with some gorgeous marble black plumage and sparkling paint details. A true Aussie icon!

19.01.2022 Quoth the raven, nevermore. These mysterious ravens are our last Halloween offering for this Thursday’s release! They are made of a black glimmering acrylic with clouds of blue and purple throughout. Available September 24th at 7:30pm

18.01.2022 Dopamine dressing at its finest These are every bit as loud as sun conures are in real lifeGet your colourful on with these babies, available tonight at 7:30pm

18.01.2022 Our Birds of Clay custom earrings and charms will be open for orders until 9am tomorrow If you’re looking for a beautiful tribute accessory of a favourite feathered friend, we’ve got you! Dangles, studs and charms available

17.01.2022 Ok, we admit, they’re not sPoOkY but they are our best attempt at spooky It wouldn’t be BINKABU if the birds didn’t make you smile a little We have two owls coming next Thursday at 7:30pm, the Snowy Owl and the Horned Owl. I just adore how this material sparkles, and paired with a mirror gold iris and metallic gold paint, it’s a winner

17.01.2022 Tomorrow night at 7:30pm AEST Three little Halloween birds will be flying in for a bit of trick-or-treating! Which one do you think will be the trickster of the bunch? I’ll be doing a story tomorrow to show you these fabulous materials up close and in natural light, they are just gorgeous!

17.01.2022 #marchmeetthemaker2021 Day 10 Small Detail I’m still on track with being one day behind But I’m impressed it’s only one day! ... Yesterday I posted Day 9 as a reel, which was ‘Learning Curve’ - and realised I didn’t write a caption Learning to use the solvent in the assembly stage of making our earrings was definitely challenging. It’s a very toxic substance so it was a bit scary at first, and there’s a trick to using the applicator to avoid spillage which can easily damage your products. Once mastered, it’s an important skill and tool in our process as it fully bonds the acrylic together! This image is an example of our attention to small details, like particular shades of paint! Like many designers, I loooove my Posca Pens, which make life much easier when it comes to adding paint details, but sometimes we need a unique shade that requires some creativity. I mixed up a storm to create this pistachio green for our new budgie tails. The magic is in the details! #marchmeetthemaker #smalldetails #handmadeearrings #handpainted #brisbanedesigner #birdearrings #smallbusiness #smallbusinessaustralia #attentiontodetail #poscapens #wearableart See more

14.01.2022 Thank you Tim and I appreciate you so much! We’re continuously blown away by the support in this little community. It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) that this little biz would not be possible without our beautiful customers. With our first little bub on the way, and with the whole 2020 being a shit-show fiasco, this growth could not have come at a better time Thank you for the awesome response to our Halloween critters - can’t wait to show you what’s next! I’ll reveal them a little earlier so you have time to choose your favourites stay wild, you wild thing

14.01.2022 Do you represent your flock family when you’re out and about? Wear your heart on your sleeve and your feather babies on your lobes We have quakers, conures, lovebirds, cockatiels and more! Our lovebirds are running low and aren’t going to be restocked, so they’ve become limited! Get in quick if you’ve been eyeing them off

13.01.2022 Introducing... The broad-tailed hummingbird Well known for its starring role in Pocahontas as Flit We both love these earrings - like REALLY love them. I wear my hummingbirds more than any other pair (sorry Link and Kevin! ) Tim is the mastermind behind this elegant yet quintessentially BINKABU design He’s just the best!... The details I can give you right now are: four colourways, one style (hoops only - no studs), October 15th 7:30pm AEST I will reveal the others over the next week, and this time I’ll be putting listings up nice and early so you can check them out on the store before they go live See more

13.01.2022 More crest goals

12.01.2022 #marchmeethemaker2021 Day 12 In use We are currently finalising the designs for our next release, so laptop, tablet and Apple pencil are essentials! We also watch a loooot of TV while we make earrings so the remote needs to be nearby too

There won’t be any pre-orders opening up once sold out, and these are ready to go, no weeks of waiting for production this time Thursday September 10th 7:30pm AEST... Limited quantities (but we’ve made sure to have more available than last time!) Last chance to shop these particular brooches Brooches are approximately 5 x 8cm - statement size! There will be the ‘buy four and save’ bundle option Brooches don’t come with stickers this time - that was a sticker/brooch launch special Each brooch comes in a custom printed jewellery box for security Roller catch pins in the perfect position for weight distribution Four designs - kookaburra, lorikeet, galah and cockatoo The old listings are still up if you want to check them out. Get excited! We have a restock planned for early next week, I’ll have a list of returning birdies for you soon! See more

07.01.2022 Alrighty, earrings are restocked and we are ready to focus on our brooch restock this Thursday. We’re getting everything ready to say goodbye to this gorgeous flock of birdies, and they will be missed but we know they’ll go to good homes Who has their eye on the lorikeet?? My personal favourite, going against the grain with this one as I know the Klassic Kookaburra is our customer favourite, but I can’t get over these colours Just a heads up, we are seriously low ...on some pieces in the shop: Galah studs Blue budgie dangles Black cockatoo studs Peach-faced lovebirds (dangle and stud) Of course we’ll always try to restock but life is looking busy busy busy, nothing is guaranteed at the moment. I hope you’re having a beautiful week! See more

06.01.2022 New maggies! Instead of a solid, flat acrylic for their plumage, this time we’ve gone for a marble texture for depth and shine A more glamorous version of this lovely monochrome pair, ready to make any outfit a little extra swooper! I have been silent on here the last few days because of being absolutely crazy with markets, expect to see a few reveals tomorrow before the release and maybe, just maybe, I’ll have previews up, otherwise they’ll go live at 7:30pm!

06.01.2022 Our second super colourful addition to the Australiana 2.0 flock is the eastern rosella Made with a whole range of different acrylics, these birds really know how to stand out from the crowd! The red acrylic is a rose red colour with a little sparkle that varies with each pair, so every piece is unique and just for you. TONIGHT 7:30pm QLD time

05.01.2022 Kevin finally has his earring He’s been hassling us for ages to design a yellow-sided turquoise conure so he can be a fabulous accessory, so we finally caved and included him in our little conure collection, which drops tomorrow at 7:30pm! These earrings capture all of his beauty with none of the attitude (well, maybe a little bit of ‘tude)

05.01.2022 IT’S GO TIME Brooches are live on the store, shop through the link in our bio! Four beautiful birds to choose from - go get ‘em, wild thing!

01.01.2022 EARRING RESTOCK TONIGHT 8pm We have a bunch of birdies returning to roost in the shop tonight! Quetzals (dangle and drop)... Blue macaw dangles Chook Cockatiel studs Magpie dangles and studs Rainbow lorikeet dangles and studs Sun conure dangles Toco toucan dangles and studs Peach-faced lovebird studs (only 3 left) Blue masked lovebird studs If you watched my stories you would have seen me mention a NEW peach-faced lovebird with a new material/colour - these are *not* being released tonight simply because I have run out of time to finish them #smallbusinesslife When our current peach-faced lovebirds are gone, they’re not coming back, and we have a very small number left. Tonight is *not* the brooch restock, that is on Thursday night at 7:30pm See more

01.01.2022 Our next release will be celebrating colour, mixed with a bit of elegance Luckily I’ve got these two bright boys as inspiration! The end of the year is going to be BUSY for us - we have three more releases, getting the store stocked up for Christmas shopping and we’re going to be at a few twilight Christmas markets! We’re so excited, we looooove doing markets, and we will have a few surprises and exclusives for our market customers too Bring on the festive season, the earlier the better this year I say Wishing you all a great week!
