Hi members,

 

I am a resonably new member but havent posted to often.

 

I was wondering if anyof the members have other birds besides budgies.

 

Hubby and myself have recently started breeding the budgies and amazed by the colors of our different birds.

 

Last year we purchased 2 gouldians .............very colourful birds , we are wondering if any members have any experience with gouldians and could really use some advice.

 

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has any knowledge of these birds......either by email or in the forums.

 

Thanking you

I know of a website where you can buy bird products, called Lady Gouldian Finch.com. That might be a good starting place. http://www.ladygouldianfinch.com/index.php

 

Oh, and this should probably go in the Off Topic Forum, so I'll move it for you.

We have gouldians

Hi Just a few bits of info to get you going

 

First off Don't mix your Gouldies with your budgies.

You can breed them on the colony system for better results, but if breeding for particular colours use

breeding cages. They will need heat during winter or a very well insulated quarters. Feed finch mix

seed plus anything else your feeding your budgies. Provide open fronted nest box, with moss. hay,

wool string etc.They have a reputation as bad parents, most eggs are hatch/raised by other Finches,

like Bengies. Treat as the other members of Finch family . Around 6 or 7 eggs laid, hatch around 14th day.

Yours B.J..
