New mask style on Redbubble
Redbubble has made fitted masks available, and I have added a couple to the shop too. They can be found here: ostdrossel.redbubble.com, but I am also linking the photos below. Code DEALS2020 takes off between 20 and 60% of selected products there all weekend, according to Redbubble. Profits of these will go into the donation bucket.
We are far away from the lunch box,
but there is now wrapping paper available in the Ostdrossel Zazzle store. You can choose between Count Grackula and the King of the Yard. They come in different sizes and styles. The store can be found here: zazzle.com/store/Ostdrossel, but I linked the photos below to the shop pages as well.
(Promo code BESTZAZGIFTS apparently takes 20 % off at the moment.)
We have decided
to not donate the profits from October (the total of all merch came up to 35 dollars) in order to save up for donations for the homeless in December. Check out the available masks, stickers, aprons and other things in my Redbubble shop ostdrossel.redbubble.com or at ostdrossel.com. The calendars are also still available, and it is worth checking out Redbubble as well as the calendar shop at https://www.createphotocalendars.com/Shop/ostdrossel to see if there are promo codes. (Right now, it looks like NOV18 is a working one at the calendar shop.)

Calendar question
I am currently getting the calendar ready to go. It will be like last year, with a different species fitting for the month, and it will come in different sizes.
Now I have been wondering though if there would be interest in a second calendar that only has Grackle photos. Yay or nay?
Masks can save lives,
and in this case they can also help people who are in need due to Covid-19. This time around, I am donating to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. Check out the available masks in my Redbubble shop ostdrossel.redbubble.com or at ostdrossel.com. I have linked them directly.
Donation to Feeding America
Thanks to your generosity, I was able to donate $46 to Feeding America today. The next donation will go to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. Check out all available face masks (and other cool stuff) in my Redbubble shop or here at ostdrossel.com.
I am also planning to make calendars again this year. There will be an update when the time has come.
New in the shop!
I have added the squirrel and the groundhog to the shop, they are available on several products like greeting cards, stickers, clocks, pins, travel mugs, backpacks as well as face masks. Face masks are also now available in three different sizes. Furthermore, I have added two aprons.
For direct links to the shop, go here for the squirrel, here for the groundhog, here for a backpack and apron with the King of the Yard here, for the red Flock of Chickadees here. I will also add direct links on the main page. Let me know if you have any wishes, I will see what I can do.
Donation to the Native American Rights Fund
Thanks to all of you and your generosity, I was able to donate $243 to the Native American Rights Fund. The profits of the current mask sales with go to Feeding America again. Thank you all for being so generous. Wear a mask to increase the safety of yourself and others during this pandemic. You can find all masks that I have available here on ostdrossel.com or at my Redbubble shop ostdrossel.redbubble.com. Be safe out there and come good into the week!
Mask profit donations starting August 1st
I have decided to donate all mask profits starting from today throughout the month of August to Feeding America again. All mask profits from July 1st to August 1st will be donated to the Native American Rights Fund on the 15th when I receive the money from Redbubble. You have been very generous so far, thank you for that. Stay safe, wear a mask and help a good cause, even if you just share the link. The masks can be purchased right at ostdrossel.com or at my Redbubble shop, ostdrossel.redbubble.com. There, you can also find stickers and other things if you want to contribute to the bird food budget :)
Thank you!
Mask profits from June 15 to July 1 have been donated to Feeding America. The total was 228.32 but I made the number round (the remaining balance are sales starting from July 1st on as well as coasters, stickers etc.).
Thanks to you, 2.300 meals can be prepared for people in need. Well done! All mask profits from July 1st to August 15th will be donated to the Native American Rights Fund. You can find the available masks on the main page at ostdrossel.com or in my Redbubble shop ostdrossel.redbubble.com.

New charity for mask profit donations

Kudos, birdlovers.
I checked my Redbubble shop today, and mask sales have amounted to $902.30! This is impressive and stunning and makes me so proud. I will get paid by Redbubble on the 15th, and will make the donation to Feeding America right away. If you want to make this a round number, go and get yourself a mask too. I linked them on here, or you can go to my Redbubble shop ostdrossel.redbubble.com.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, YOU ROCK!
Masks available in Redbubble shop!
I am still designing more and am open to suggestions. But there are some masks available now in my Redbubble shop. There is also a new Cardi and Nuthatch motive, available on several things. I linked the photos to the pages. I will donate all profits to a cause supporting covid-19 relief.

I still have not decided on what exactly and am open to suggestions.
Count Grackula hoodie now on Zazzle
Count Grackula can now be had on a hoodie in my Zazzle store. I am still waiting for the face masks to be approved, but hopefully that will happen soon.
EDIT: Hoodie should show up now, and they have a promo code that ends today where you get 40 % off. It is STAYFITHOMEZ.
Puzzles and more are coming!
I have explored my possibilities for products to put birds and critters on and am happy to announce that I also have a Zazzle shop now. The first product is this Groundhog puzzle. There will be magnets, face masks and other things soon too. Hit me up with your ideas or wishes, and I will see what I can do.
Bird pins in the shop!
There are now pins available in my Redbubble shop. You can either click HERE, or the link to the shop or the short cuts on the home page on here. I also linked the sticker shortcuts to the pages that show all available products for a bird. This should make it easier to navigate the Redbubble shop. Constructive feedback is welcome.
