Not a birdseed related post but one that will likely be of interest...... because....
One in five Australians are living with a disability or caring for someone.
Waves Foundation is a charity which offers sailing experiences for young people with a disability or disadvantage.
This year I have the honor of being in the MWF Sydney to Hobart campaign.
Half the crew of 16 are sailors living with disability.
They are an inspiring bunch ... it's going to be an awesome trip.
Recently we had the honor of being hosted at Admiralty House by our new patron the Govenor General Sam.Mostyn

So.... keep an eye out on Boxing Day for MWF Kayle

And if you feel like giving out some Chritmas charity to support a good cause.. link to donations page in the comments

Thx for reading

Avigrain has long advocated a balanced, natural diet for all birds. Seed plays a role but mixing it up with lots of other stuff is critical for avian health.
Our friends from Budgie Rescue and Sanctuary share some ideas..

Today NSW implements our new tariff regime against birdseed produced in QLD and Victoria.
In a move to encourage birdseed production back into our grate steat of NSW a 100% tariff will be imposed on any birdseeds arriving from interstate.
While this will double wholesale prices and very likely triple retail prices in NSW, it will secure local jobs in NSW and boost local production.
All proceeds will go to the Make Avigrain Grate Again
The movement donates 1% of funds to the Long Nosed Furry Cheek Extinction Fund

Avigrain QLD has responded with their usual reply... "too easy" but once they realize what has happened there is always the risk it'll just fire them up more for this year's Origin.
Thanks to our for supporting and this wonderful new initiative
Have a grate day🌻
