Hi!

We're just hours away from the start of spring and the most exciting time on the finch breeding calendar. Here in Adelaide the string of 20-degree-plus days over the the last week have put the birds into frenzy of frenetic singing and nest builidng—hopefully a sign of a great season to come!

We're pleased to see the COVID situation in Victoria is finally starting to ease, and a number of other states appear to have it largely under control. Fingers crossed we'll see bird sales resume in the next few months—hopefully in a safer (and frankly more comfortable) socially distanced manner.
