Awesome video, very informative and definitely interesting for someone (like myself) who’s interested in possibly breeding finches. Thanks for the attention to detail, very useful.

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Thanks Raul

[@burgos227]

Thank You for your content. I also breed European Gouldian finches .. love them and I love your knowledge on the birds.. Great Job 👏.. from Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸- Joel

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Thanks Vxrtex (Joel)

[@JJKels]

Gouldian finches are not European, they are native to Australia.. which is on the other side of Europe. 😅 they don’t come from anywhere else in the wild, only native to the top end of Australia.

[@burgos227]

It’s a term everyone used. I adopted it

[@MaitlandRambers]

Great videos thank you, it’s very interesting to compare your Gouldians in South Africa to our birds here in Australia.Thanks again for sharing.

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Thanks for the feedback Graeme. SA's show type is very similar to yours from what I understand.

[@binandardwisetiawan8208]

Hi Graeme, I want to buy Gouldians from Australia, can you recomend me some good seller from there? Thank you very much for your information

[@MaitlandRambers]

@@binandardwisetiawan8208 Unfortunately the Australian government do not allow export of birds.

[@binandardwisetiawan8208]

[@jimreilly5089]

Hi. Is there any chance you can bring your mic closer to you or turn up your volume in production? Many thanks.

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi Jim. We had some sound issues earlier on in season 1 as we figured out our equipment limitations. The sound towards the end of Season 1 got a lot better. I do plan to get some high quality microphones to improve it a lot more. Thanks for the feedback.

[@kevinjackson5033]

❤ thanks for another brilliant video can you please tell how long you do austerity for pleas

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi. Most guys in South Africa use the month of Dec 4/5 weeks for Austerity but at minimum 2 weeks.

[@ohhansolo]

What was that green seed that you were using sir? I wasn't able to catch it's name 😅

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi. The seed is panicum seed.

[@bingo200]

My male gouldian died while having 5 babies in the nest. Babies are of 5 days old and I can’t hand feed female is there but I am confused whether should I introduce a male to her or just left like that will she raise the babies alone or abandoned them. Please help!!

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi. Definitely do not introduce another male until she has either raised the chicks and weaned them or they have died. Unfortunately their is no guarantees that she will look after them but the fact that they 5 days old there is a good chance as they will shout for food.

[@bingo200]

@@thehouseofgouldians Thank you for the swift response, I appreciate.

[@sherigowpabon2097]

Do you answer any of these questions people ask you?

[@thehouseofgouldians]

All the time. Sometimes just on a later episode, sometimes directly. How can I help?

[@jansnyman1934]

How can I bread blues in New Zealand as we don't have blues in NZ

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi Jan. The problem is that they don't have the mutation in the first place so theoretically none of the birds are split for blue either. The only way would be to import a blue if they allow it or one would have to randomly pop up like the original blue bird did. (Very little chance of that happening I'm afraid).

[@jansnyman1934]

Thanks for this, yes No live birds can be imported, it's a shame would like to have some blues

[@user-hy5vx6sv5i]

Hi how i get sea green or ivory gouldians ?

[@thehouseofgouldians]

Hi. Seagreens are a sex linked recessive from what we know so far but a lot more work needs to be done with this mutation. I terms of Ivory I have not hears of it bit perhaps someone on the chat can assist.

[@zhaezz84]

Regarding "powdered Kelp" for extra iodine, what types do you use?

[@thehouseofgouldians]

I get it from a place that specializes in herbs for birds. Drop me an email and I will see what additional information I have on it for you.
