Birdwing Butterflies now Available to our International Customers

We are pleased to announce today that our export permit has arrived and birdwing butterflies are now available to our international customers. Some of you have been waiting several months for these specimens to become available to you. All specimens are sent with an appropriate re-export permit from Australia. There is no additional cost for this.

Unfortunately, we regret to say that due to the extra paperwork required by US Wildlife and Fisheries we are not able to ship birdwing butterflies to the USA.

Yes, we are still here!

No doubt any of you have heard of the major flooding in Australia, especially in Queensland. Several of our customers have asked if we have been affected. Fortunately we are located on a hill, so we did not experience any damage. Even our power stayed on! We are very grateful indeed. Thank you for your concern.

However, we have been isolated for a few days due to all major roads being cut. This has meant that there has been a delay in posting orders. Fortunately all major roads are now open and it is business as usual again. Below are some photos we took around our local area. The top photo is the main road in the local business area and the second photo is of the major motorway into the city. Nobody was going anywhere unless they had a boat.
