I know many NSW breeders (capable ones who breed all sorts of other weird stuff) who have not had great success with blues. I've only seen first hand one smaller Vic setup (AFF member), it was a wet miserable typical Melbourne day and these birds were tight feathered and brilliant (these aviaries were still well protected). In the Sydney area, blues (and often other gouldians) just sit looking sad on such days.

To cut a long story short - Finchy - why not organise to ship a few blues up from Victoria?

Nope, I'll leave things be.
