Hello! Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Daniel, I'm an Interaction and User Interface designer in my main career, working for Service Victoria on the mobile app and other SV online services. I work full time and entirely from home.

Hobbies include fitness/gym, art, anime, sci-fi, design, Twitch streaming, and EDM. Have no fear because have great headphones :)

I am very experienced with share housing, having lived out of home in some sort of shared arrangement since I was 18 in both Melbourne and Sydney.

I am fine with going on a lease and would love to be a part of a Teamup (can't provide any furniture, but I can contribute to an IKEA trip!).

What I come with:
• A Bird. My 18-year-old Sun Conure - Chicken - is fully flighted, social and toilet trained. She loves fruit, nuts, cardboard tubes, neck scratches and thinks folding laundry is super fascinating.
• I have a car so I'd need a place to park it. Streetside is fine.

What I'm looking for:
• No Roomshare.
• Partially furnished. I do not require a desk, as I have my own specialised one (183x76cm). All other furniture items would be greatly appreciated. Entirely unfurnished is acceptable.
• NBN Connectivity. A room within Carlton, Parkville, Brunswick or West Brunswick. Seddon and Yarraville are also under consideration or the CBD. If you do not live in one of these areas, or cannot confirm either the presence of NBN FTTP or FTTC/B in the CBD; I am not interested.
• Relating to connectivity, my PC is not WiFi capable and will require an Ethernet connection to the router. If it can be relocated to my room or be in an area I can discreetly string a blue cable to it, that would be grand.
• Open to having a bird in the house, and ideally have no existing pets that are a threat to birds. Her cage will require approx 1 square meter of floor space. Ideally, I'd want to set her up somewhere that is visible from my PC desk, can get attention from others in the house and has a window for her to look outside of.
• I don't mind the occasional keggers and coke lines, but a house that leans to the quiet side during the day with full-time students or professionals would be preferred :P
• Detached house, townhouse, sharehouses, and apartments/studio are all welcome.

Most people are not familiar with Birds and what they entail, so while Flatmates has rules against external links, I can provide a video of what she sounds like if requested. A vast majority of the time she is totally quiet and only makes noise for a good reason; usually asking to be let out of the cage in the morning, wanting food, or the excitement of spotting her favourite humans again after they've been away for a bit.

She will rapidly ingrate herself with everyone and in no time you won't even flinch at her attempts to preen your eyebrows or nuzzle in your neck or shirt collar for a nap. As a bonus, she smells really nice!

I look forward to hearing from you if you are offering the sort of accommodation I'm after. Best of luck in your search for a housemate otherwise!

Best regards,
Daniel
