Kākāpō Dangle Earrings
The kākāpō is a critically-endangered, forest-dwelling parrot endemic to New Zealand. They are incredibly unique and a treasured native, with ongoing conservation efforts helping to bring back the population from the edge of extinction. We've used two different green acrylics and lots of hand-painted etching to bring this design to life. We took our time to capture their big, fluffy bodies and cute faces in a design that is still distinctly BINKABU! These dangles are light and easy to wear all day long 😊
MORE DETAILS
MORE DETAILS
The history of the kākāpō is a story of drama, despair and hope. Before humans arrived, kākāpō were abundant throughout New Zealand. Population numbers dropped swiftly due to hunting, introduced predators and land clearance. Conservation efforts began in 1894, but by the mid-1900s, kākāpō teetered on the edge of extinction. There are roughly only 200 kākāpō alive today.
Packaging that really tells a story—Learn more about these beautiful birds with our bespoke earring cards, carefully researched and designed by us for every single bird in our flock.
A portion of the profits from earrings sold in our New Zealand collection will be donated to the Kākāpō Recovery Programme.
✧ Due to the nature of individually handmade items, there may be small imperfections present. Though we have taken care to capture the true colours of each pair, colours may vary on different screens.
✧ Designed and handmade in Brisbane

FAQs
Hey Wild Thing, Maddi here! As the founder and designer at BINKABU, I'd like to thank you so much for having a peek around our flock. If it helps you shop with confidence, below are a few FAQs about our products that might help you say yes to your perfect piece.
Yes, absolutely. The hoops and posts are always made with surgical stainless steel, a hypoallergenic material, as a minimum.
The 18k gold-plating is also hypoallergenic, and in some cases we can offer sterling silver posts.
Surgical steel is considered hypoallergenic for most ears, however, if you have a particularly high sensitivity to nickel, you might need to wear sterling silver or gold-plated options.
Our products are all handmade in our Brisbane workshop, with metal components handmade by our metalwork jeweller partners.
We process all of our acrylic elements in-house, from laser cutting, UV printing, painting, to assembly.
Metal components are designed and prototyped in-house on our power-house fibre laser, then produced with our jeweller partners in Shanghai to provide the 18k gold finish option. We assemble and package each design in-house.
All BINKABU designs are original works created in our studio and are protected by copyright and intellectual property law.
Please allow 2-5 business days for order processing (processing = the time it takes to get your order ready for post. Shipping times are additional to our processing times).
We generally aim for a 2-day turnaround, but during busy periods this is not possible.
Shipping times will vary based on where you live - you can track your order through Australia Post. We have provided estimates from Australia Post with each shipping option, but these are estimates only and not guaranteed.
We sure do! We also offer free international shipping for orders over $200 AUD.
We have a very large catalogue, so navigating it can be tricky. The best option is to use the search feature, which can be found at the top of the webpage, or you can head to the search page right here.
Lightweight despite the larger size, forgot I was wearing them most of the day.
my kakapo girls are green and gorgeous. these contemplative girls are taking it all in and considering their next plan of action
I'm obsessed with my new kakapo earrings. They are so cute, so bright, and very lightweight. Such a cute representation of this amazing and special bird. My friends, family, and I play a board game called Wingspan with many birds represented including kakapo, which inspired my love of them. Those friends & family all loved my new earrings!
My daughter loved these as her birthday pressie amazing detail and colour check I bought other earrings as well from here
These were beautifully made & packaged, they are gorgeous & exactly as pictured

I decided to buy these earrings after I saw Maddi wearing them while sharing shop updates through Facebook stories. The butterflies really move and dangle so naturally! You can tell a lot of care goes into the engineering of the design. I don't see any other acrylic earrings that have such a nice 3D construction. I'm always happy with my purchases from Binkabu :)
These beautiful earrings are so colourful and vibrant, just like real Rosellas!
Cute, cheeky and go with every outfit. These hoops are great for when I’m feeling playful.
One of three pairs I purchased from this collection and such a fan. I stil can’t get over how lightweight these are and how cute they are!
These are absolute stunners! Sturdy, beautiful and so blessedly hypoallergenic i can and have worn them all day!
Bought these for my MIL who loves Sacred Kingfishers. She loved them so much
So cute, will look great as a scarf broach!
So adorable! 🥰
These books are beautiful, both in their message and illustrations.
Funny, sweet, lots of rhyme, choral reading opportunities, perfect choice!!
Delightful book!
A subtle cute design. I wear them to add a little colour to a monochrome outfit.
I absolutely love these little guys. The quality is next level and they are such beautiful pieces. My ears never get sore when wearing Binkabu products and the students I work with always like seeing what I have on for the day.
Love the revamped versions of the Binkabu flock.
Easy to wear with cute details. The colours make it easy to combine to many outfits too.
I’m sure my grandchildren will love these books! I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet.
Flaunt your wild side.
