It would be nice if you clicked on a fairy (if you have more than 5 of the same one) and it gave you an option of: how many would you like to release? And you type in the number of what you have.
I would totally use this feature.
Inb4 someone whines that it would make the achievement too easy.
I think I'd actually bother with the achievement if we had something like this, tbph.

This has been suggested multiple times for multiple achievements. Release the fairies, delete the pumpkins, toss the snowballs, etc.
I've done and completed all those achievements, and frankly they weren't "achievements" that fill me with pride. They were grim, repetitious and I felt no satisfaction when done, only relief that I never had to do it again. Not fun!
I don't see what harm it would do to make them easier/simpler, just less annoying. These days just collecting 1000 fairies is an achievement in itself. Of course, I wouldn't want to be able to just turn in 1000 at once, but breaking it down to 5, 10 or even 50, would be fine. Make it like the Recycle beast where there's a dropdown menu to turn in multiples of the same color and put it in Melody's cottage.

I moved this over to Suggestions and Ideas. :)
I released 500 today, by hand, one by one. It was annoying and I’m glad that I finally got the achievement because I never have to do it again.
I didn’t enjoy it either. I saw it as a chore and glad it’s done!
Refreshing the release page for the same fairy colour would also be a good thing!
You actually can refresh the release link for each specific color if you do it in this way:

i usually just wait until i have a decent stack of fairies and move them from my vault to my inventory color by color so they maintain their order, then i hit enter a bunch of times on the "are you sure" pop up. that usually gets through a decent stack of them. i did the same thing for the pumpkin deleting achievement. i'm pretty sure you can also refresh the confirmation page a bunch of times and it will go through a decently hefty stack of them before it kicks back an error.
