Bin Chicken Appreciation Society Embroidered Patch
THIS DESIGN IS BEING RETIRED
This is my most controversial design. While some people love the "bin chicken" moniker, others have contacted me out of concern for the disrespect shown to the white ibis and its plight, and I have come around to their point of view. When I designed this pin and later the patch, I thought of "bin chicken" as a typically Australian affectionate nickname. It's been pointed out to me that this nickname minimises the environmental upheaval that caused the white ibis to start appearing in more urban and suburban areas, and makes light of their consuming foods that aren't part of their natural diet and aren't good for them, through human-caused scarcity of resources.
"Why would you make a pin of a bin chicken?! No one will buy that!"It quickly became my third best selling design [See more...]
When I first made an ibis design a few years ago, my husband (who is not an ibis fan because of an incident when he was five involving a potato cake and said bird) declared "why would you make a pin of a bin chicken?! No one will buy that!" aaaand it quickly became my third best selling design! So I have now made the appreciation society into an embroidered patch.
So, show how much you appreciate this loveable wrinkly headed bird by wearing this patch!
This patch has iron on glue on the reverse, however I recommend ironing it in place then sewing to secure. Instructions on the reverse of the packaging.
Measures 8.5 cm wide.
