Not sure if anyone else does, but I live in Mackay, QLD and we have just had a flood. My birds were fine, they were nice and dry inside and spent most of the day sleeping. Here are some pics from my place. The bird cage you can see in one pic is a spare - I didn't have the birds outside.

:shock: Oh no! I saw it all on the news.. thats crazy weather up there! Droughts then this.. So happy the birds are fine... a friend of mine lost his birds in the NSW flooding last year.. :cry: I hope your insured and you can pick up the pieces once the water dies down. Where are you living now? :( Our thoughts are with ya girl! Hope the weather gets better soon!

Yes I to have been following it on the news. My parents are in QLD (Burnett area) and they have had heaps of rain, but nowhere near your volume.

Glad to hear your birds were safe and well. I am sorry that your place was flooded. I saw on the news last night it is still raining there. Mother Nature can be very cruel at times :(

So sad to see the pics of all that water in your house, but thankfully you and your birds are all safe and sound.

I have friends, who have recently moved to your area, and I think about them and all of you up there every day.. Keep safe!

Miss Kaos there were crocs swimming the streets. But they are in the water ways up here anyway. We had snakes in the house and that was bad enough. The crocs were seen in new housing estates.

Good news for us today- insurance guy just came and everything will be replaced.
