Oh well in that case, welcome to God’s Own Country, we will be neighbours
Brisbane is like a big overgrown country town, the locals are friendly, the food is great, and you’re never far away from beautiful natural surroundings and attractions. Summers here are long and hot, but you can usually rely on the temperature being pretty consistent rather than having to keep your winter woollies on standby just in case! We get spectacular summer thunderstorms pretty regularly so you’ll have to watch out for those. We are now in the depths of “winter” so daytime max hovers around 20C but it can drop to single digits overnight then all us Brisbanites (aka Brizzos) freeze to death.
As far as bird breeders are concerned, if you’re after a green cheek there’s an outfit here called Queenslander Aviaries who seem fairly respectable, though I’ve not dealt with them myself. And there’s a wonderful bird vet I can highly recommend too. Only problem is our bird vets don’t open on weekends and in my experience that’s ALWAYS when one of my guys has a crisis!
Any more info you’d like please feel free to give me a yell
