Hello, thanks for the compliment. Gouldians raise their chicks by their own. They are good parents and feed their young. I got kolonie breed, so the young also help there parents with feeding the next nest. I keep the young chicks about 8 months with the parents after the moult I will selecting them for sell and the one i keep for breeding. So if you buy from a good breeder there is no problem at all

@@RemcoPetersGouldamadine wow that's amazing , here we don't have many gouldians and the ones we do have don't feed their chicks , they will need society finches to help them , it's a shame that we are so far away from each other i would have bought some from you to raise for myself me and my parents love gouldians <3 <3 , thank you for your reply and may you have many beautiful gouldians :D

Hello thanks for your compliment. It's not that big aviary. The L-vorm is 3x2x1 mtr. But like the see-through posters makes it more spacious. I allow visitors, but unfortunaltely I will be on holiday in half July/ august. Have a nice weekend. Remco

@@RemcoPetersGouldamadine Do you have any heat?

Hi Emily, I did clean the turf every two weeks with a high pressure sprayer. But it wil get green after a while, green algea. So about two years ago, I build a water stream in my aviary. It is great to see, and I use a filter and plants so the water keeps beter clean. Watch this video how I build it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4uboadneNGDnK8si=2BkGUaGOKp_lMNOf And if you look at my latest video you will see my aviary at this time. Thanks for watching Remco

Mijn gouldamadines blijven het hele jaar buiten, maar ik heb wel een geïsoleerd nachthok ( houten schuur) waar ze in en uit kunnen vliegen. Ook doe ik begin december de volière isoleren met doorzichtige kanaalplaten. ( zie filmpje winter klaar maken ) In de schuur hangt een klein kacheltje, maar die slaat alleen aan als het onder de 5 graden komt. De vogels kunnen tegen de kou, maar wel uit de tocht houden. Ook zorg ik dat ze naar de winter toe, meer vet houdend voer krijgen. Mijn vogels weten niet beter, maar die zijn ook hierin geboren. Koop geen vogels die van binnen kweekkooien komen, die zullen het niet redden.

Dankjewel voor het antwoord.

welk voer geeft u voor dat ze de winter in gaan.

Sorry voor de late reactie, ja mijn Gouldamadine zitten het hele jaar in deze volière. Maar er zit wel een schuur met nachthok aan vast zodat ze zelf erin of eruit kunnen. Ook doe ik in de winter de volière wind dicht maken met plexiglas platen. Maar de meeste slapen buiten ook al is het koud. Let wel op bij aanschaf van de goulds dat ze koud kweek zijn en natuurbroed.

No way, it's the parents Who raise them. They will stay all together for at least 1 year. All the young and parents. Thats colony breed. After the first moult I will select and sell.

Hi, our winters are not that cold, and the birds can go inside the shed. And that is not colder than 10 degrees. The aviari is protected with polyglass. So the birds are protected for the wind. Look this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqrFeY2Biaeip9U

Dankjewel

This is the aviari at this moment Gouldians. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGLQYWZ6oJiAhLs

Hallo, the plants are for outside and will survive during winter. It is a Ivy , Called Hedera ( Atlantis ivy) also conifer and wild grasses and Ferns. These will not harm the birds. Thanks Remco

@@RemcoPetersGouldamadine thank you

I work in a nursing home and they have an aviary and we have a pair of ghouldians and they just had babies we can't wait to see them it's amazing all the residents just love them

Thanks for watching, it's both real plants and artificial. Check my New upload. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGLQYWZ6oJiAhLs

@@RemcoPetersGouldamadine it’s beautiful, but the music is boring, to be honest 😐. A solo slow piano melody would be better for birds in my opinion. Thank you so much for your reapply.

Not that big it's 7m2

Hello, thanks for your reaction. Yes my birds stay outside during winter, but can go in and out to a aviary inside. I do not heat this but isolatie the shed. I have a small heater there if the temperature drops below 10 degreas inside it will heat a little bit, but not warmer then 10 degreas it will turn off again. The Goulds do not have problems with the cold, but you don’t want them in draft so i use plexiglass. In this film you can see the aviary inside kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX26k5yXotOUj5Y . Also in my latest film you can see I build a water flow in the aviary outside. Good Luck with your aviary,

@@RemcoPetersGouldamadine thanks for the reply! Very interesting. I was planning on having my birdroom warmer than 10C so very good to know what they can tolerate - you're birds certainly look healthy so you must be doing something right! Do you know what temps the outside section goes down to in the winter? I'm assuming you are in Holland which I think has slightly worse winters than the southern UK?

@@MrHobolarry I keep Gouldians (amongst many others) in a bird room in Merseyside. I have a couple of heaters that I only turn on when the temperature is going to drop to 5c or lower. The heaters keep the room around 8-10c. A lot will depend on what temperature the Gouldians you purchase are used to. They don’t do well with sudden temperature fluctuations but if acclimatised properly, they can actually survive freezing temperatures. Not for long periods tho and as already stated never in a draught

Thanks check my latest film kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4uboadneNGDnK8 ,my aviary is more beatifull now
