Welcome. Don't think I would swap our warm climate for your birds even.

spiders
Only spiders I ever see are huntsmans which are harmless. It's funny how foriegners think if they come here they can ride kangaroos, get biten by a spider or get eaten by a shark. They have more chance of meeting a nice welcoming backpacker murderer.
