A New Beginning
Home Bird Australia was born in 2020. A year that nobody will forget for many reasons. At the height of a global pandemic and fear and uncertainty rippled throughout the globe. For many of us, it was a time to step back from our busy lives and truly appreciate what matters.
For me, it was probably the first time I paused to reflect deeply. I had spent years juggling a busy HR career, family, drop-offs, and making packed lunches—generally wearing many hats. During this time, I realized just how important my home was. It became more than just bricks and mortar; it was a haven, a place to feel safe, and a space that filled me with pride.
The Lightbulb Moment for Cleaning
During this period, I had a lightbulb moment about cleaning and organization. My friends and family found this amusing, especially since, as my Father-in-law put it, I still 'lived like a student'—and he wasn't wrong. In the past, I had even thrown out dirty pans to avoid cleaning them (long before I discovered the wonders of Pink Paste and Scrub Daddy, of course!).
Finding Inspiration Online
I stumbled upon the vibrant cleaning community on Instagram, and to be honest, I became a bit obsessed with Mrs. Hinch (who knew watching someone shine up their kitchen sink could be so satisfying!). The community was incredibly supportive, sharing tips and becoming a whole new world of virtual friends who encourage and uplift one another.

From Granny’s Zoflora to 12-Week Waits
I discovered trending products and was eager to try them - some had been around for years, like my Granny’s Zoflora. But finding these products in Australia was challenging, with few suppliers. I ended up buying a few online, only to wait up to twelve weeks for delivery and pay way above the odds.
