It only gets cold enough to snow here once every 10 years or so, and usually just for one day. Melbourne has more trees in the streets than many cities, plus huge wetlands integrated in and running though dozens of suburbs on all sides of the city. In the city we have all sorts of parrots, cockatoos, parakeets, thrush, finch, swallow, Indian minors, kookaburra, magpie, Kiwi magpie, tom tit, owl, blackbird are all I can think of at the moment, we also have fruit bats in the city. They fly at night.
