Help Us Bring Joy.
The residents at Jimbelunga Nursing Centre greatly enjoy spending time watching and caring for the birds in their aviary. Sadly, some of their much-loved birds have recently passed away, and we are hoping to replenish the aviary.
We are seeking donations of Budgies or Cockatiels from anyone who may be able to help. These birds provide companionship, enjoyment, and meaningful engagement for the residents every day.
If you have a couple of Budgies or Cockatiels that you would be willing to donate, please contact SEQ bird club or come to our Beaudesert Bird sale on the 28th June or Martin on 0439882554
Thankyou
