Gorgeous Gouldian Finches - my 2016 breeding stock

These are fine looking Gouldians! I'm very pleased with the quality of them - most are full-bodied with big heads and great colour. The hens have plenty of blue behind their necks - a trait I really like - and strong chest colour. (... Yes, those are HENS, not fellas! The boys have DARK purple, or white, chests.)
They are feeding on various green seeding grasses in their outdoor aviary in Sydney, Australia.
Music is 'Happy Times' by Adam Selzer. (Thank you Adam.)

[@fikretylmaz3506]

Beautiful birds. Thank you for sharing. I am a gouldian breeder in Turkey, I hope i will get large size and healthy gouldian finches like yours.

[@bothellbirdwatchers3638]

Pretty Birds!

[@beachrunner3]

beautiful collection ~ my guess is that you are somewhere in Australia but live in the northern part of Oz where it is warm as these guys love the warm weather! They struggle here in Melbourne!

[@terriergal]

very nice. I love them!!

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

They look nice and healthy. I used to raised Gouldians years ago and miss them.

[@EddyFeyen]

[@Tryinglittleleg]

Hi congrats on 1000 subscribers also I started off with 5 finches this year now I have 13 and also 17 hatching eggs

[@Finchesca]

+Tryinglittleleg Thank you :) Well done on your early breeding efforts. Sounds like you are off to an extremely good start! Time to expand your birdie accomodation to something bigger :) (Careful - it's addictive!)

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+Finchesca I know I think I'm already addicted we are thinking of expanding as we did a few months ago now we are thinking of making the whole shed a bird aviary it's crazy fun though I have zebras normal colours and pure white,manikin finches and are planing on getting cordon blues and Goulding when the pet shops get them back in stock ps I live in NSW as well.

[@Finchesca]

+Tryinglittleleg That's great! Then I have some aviary ideas for you too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l57OpX6cpsiiosk :) (...except it might be better to go with a concrete floor if you are just starting out. Earth/mulch floors need more experience to maintain bird health.)

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+Finchesca thanks I'll check it out

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+Finchesca we just had our two button quails have eggs and now they have 3 little chicks!

[@sharonwebb945]

Can you please do a video of regular maintenance you carry out on the aviary especially the floor. My 18 year old son wants to set up his own aviary by converting an old chicken coup and he needs ideas of how to keep it looking fresh n clean

[@michaeltiago4695]

You have an amazing flock! I see that your lady gouldian and parrotfinches are able to freely commingle in one area without any problems. Question, have you ever seen any mixed species mating and hybrid offspring due to this?

[@Finchesca]

+Michael Tiago Hi Michael. They coexist very well. In 8 years of keeping Gouldians and PFs together I have never had a hybrid produced. I think that takes special circumstances. However, I have occasionally had PFs adopt a Gouldian clutch and feed them, which produced some very big and healthy Gouldian babies!

[@71bahriabirds39]

😍

[@sharonwebb945]

Can you use any bark chips from Bunnings on aviary floor?

[@yiskah7004]

What's the name of the little orange and blue ones called? They are beautiful!

[@leandroferreira2594]

é uns dos pássaros mais bonitos tenho dois lindos

[@rosaliecarpio7768]

What type of grass have you put on the floor of the cage? They are loving it!

[@sharonwebb945]

Are the light blue chested and brown backed birds also finches?

[@syedhasan6548]

ماشاء اللہ

[@volandoencasa]

They are adorable! How much are each one? I live near NY

[@SupergiantgeckosLLC]

Tip: The only greens you should give them and that they Love is romaine lettuce

[@rosaliecarpio7768]

I am giving "Green Coral Lettuce" which is a crinkly one and they do eat that. I'll try Romaine next.

[@SupergiantgeckosLLC]

@@rosaliecarpio7768 what ever s healthy.

[@Finchesca]

+TheZoo 1993 Funny you should ask.... Go to a web site called finchstuff.com. There you'll find a guide to the sounds that the different finch and waxbill species make - how loud, pleasant and frequent they are: www.finchstuff.com/finchnoise.aspx

[@howardeyeno7436]

[@mantidgirl]

Hey! I was curious wether Gouldians would be okay in a cage with society/mannequin finches?

[@peggyeldridge4827]

Yes they get along fine. I have a Gouldian finch with a Society and a Spice.

[@tariktbal2785]

Please help me. I lost a lot of Golden Finches. The reason is that the fetus completes its growth and dies inside the egg, although the eggs are moistened with water in order to increase the moisture and facilitate its reduction.

[@Finchesca]

Hi Tarik. I have not heard of adding water. I suggest that you do not do this, as a dry nest is healthiest. Also, is there a possibility that the parents are too closely related? That could be the cause. If not those things, then improve nutrition of the parents.

[@paulineb66]

What are the green and red birds?

[@Finchesca]

+noellana Those are Red Faced Parrot Finches.

[@terriergal]

I haven't had them for a few years, but I really love gouldians, cordon bleu's and shaft tails. I'm hoping to pick up a few males soon to give me some color and song again. I can't do breeding now. Maybe sometime in the future. Birds are so lovely, I just wish they weren't so much work for such tiny little things!

[@Tryinglittleleg]

What's the orange face and tail finch?

[@Finchesca]

+Tryinglittleleg They are the Seagreen mutation of the Red Faced Parrot Finch.

[@Tryinglittleleg]

+Finchesca thanks!
