Not 100 % on the hatching a breeding, but most of Aust. bird breeding season begins late July - August. Handraised babies would be ready to go around December, but you can always put down a deposit on a hatchling and wait for it to be ready for you.
Ekkies are the most amazing docile creatures, highly intelligent and a joy to have as a pet. Males are alot more placid than the females as far as my experience goes, as it is with most birds.
Let us know how you go

We dont have as many rescue birds in Aus, most times they find new homes pretty quick. I have 2 budgies that a woman I work with was going to let go so I took them in but we rarely see rescue birds.
