At 4am on 2 Jan, a massive fire completely destroyed the warehouse facilities of Birdy Imports in Botany, Sydney. [see photo]

Over 100 fire fighters were on-site but could do little to put out the fire. They could only ensure that it did not spread. The entire 9300 sq metre building and all its contents were destroyed. The outsourced warehouse contained the stock of several different companies in addition to Birdy.
All stock associated with Birdy in Australia was destroyed although there are a few items available from our offices (at a different location).
We are working closely with our manufacturer to either (a) bring our next planned shipment forward as much as possible or (b) to obtain an emergency shipment of stock.
However the fire will obviously impact the supply of Birdys and parts in Australia for a short period until things settle down.
Please bear with us during this time. If you are after a particular model, please contact us as we will have a good idea which retailers may have models in stock.
