Tip abot the egg food.... They all love to eat the egg shell... so i smash up the egg shell and mix it with the hard boiled egg so egg gets stuck to the bits of shell. Soon they are eating the shells and trying the egg food by mistake and they realise they like it. That has worked every time for me.

Hello there. Well, in my experience, the best results for breeding these and other finches (same applies for the canary, many parakeets...) are when the birds are 2 yo - especially females; and I also keep several pairs - let's say 5 - in a small aviary and then let them choose their partners. Separate them for a few weeks or so and then try them back in a breeding cage. If you're working with particular mutations/size, etc. make sure they're not related from the beginning. I wouldn't shut up (lol). Just some simple tips that work for me. Needless to say I really enjoy your channel, and please keep 'em coming. All the best! Cheers :)

A long awaited new Gouldian video! 😁😁 loving the knowledge you have on these birds Chris and I have learnt so much from you as you know. On the bonding info it reminded me of my video you kindly shared of the pair singing to each other, such sweet birds. 20 chicks and counting so far this season and can't thank you enough 👍🇬🇧

Hi Chris, rob here from the UK, jeepers bud I couldn't believe it when I saw you posted another video and it's all about gouldians, I'm picking up my first two pairs in a couple of weeks so this has come at the perfect time. You must have known 😂this was just what I needed to see.cheers mate,keep up the good work 🖒👌🐦

I love Lady Gouldian finches...the red headed ones and from my pair I was blessed with one clutch and 13 babies.. beautiful and I sold them all to a local bird store!

Thanks Chris for all the great tips keep the video’s coming 👍🏼my birds are doing great here in California ❤️💜💛🧡🖤

Hi Chris, another great video ! Thanks for all the useful tips you mentioned. I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰and love your videos alot. My gouldian s are ready for the season. Waiting for temperature to come down a little more so i can start pairing them. Wish me luck and good luck to you.

Bird nerd also tomorrow I’m getting my second lovebird pair and a love bird baby so exited

Great tips, Chris!

really helpful and intuitive! what is egg food?

A source of inspiration for me to breeding gloudian finch.. Tq

You might try turning out the lights behind the birds and get heat lamp reflector and a regular non heat light bulb from the camera side of the cages or behind the camera for your videos. You have such pretty birds, the colors should show up better. Otherwise I love your videos. Thanks

Hey I would like to thank you for all of your information on the Zebra Finches, I bought a pair about 4 weeks ago and I had my first Egg 🥚 a week ago and my second one 2 days ago. This is my second set of Finches my first set were Society and that was over 20 years ago. I'm wanting to purchase a pair of Gouldian Finches and would like to hopefully purchase from you if possible so any information on purchasing would be greatly appreciated.

Nice - good job😊👍

Hi chris Very well explained good information keep it up mate.

Another great video Chris 👍🏻🇬🇧

Hi there, I like your informative video and I start to learn a bit more on gouldians. am a first time bird keeper and recently got 3 pairs of gouldians (2 pairs gave me eggs very quickly). I am wondering what kind of food should I provide when the babies hatched. I was very sad my first 4 hatchling died because the parents toss them out. They were healthy strong hatchlings. I handfed them crushed mealworm into powder form mix with water. But still hatchlings died. What is your advice to feed hatchlings with?

Hi, very nice informative video, plz make video about diet, cage size, multivitamins, seeds, soft food and all about gouldian finch and later make video about other birds one by one

Hi I'm new to gouldians, and found your video very helpful. Just wondering how u catch the right birds to but in breeding cages?

Beauty ! AWSOME! Trying to find some of these beautiful finches also Waxbills strawberry finches but no luck as yet HERE AT WEST LOS ANGELES! HELP ME

They also love lint from the dryer for nesting

Hi Chris, great videos . May i know what kind of lightning do you use for your bird? Is it just regular LED light?thanks

Nice set up Good information thank you.

I bought 10 end of may I lost 3 I'm changing food add eucalyptus on a rag hanging on outside of cage before I had died used sac mite medicine

Beautiful, where you at? You have for sale.? I need one for my husband.

Thanks, that was very helpful advice . Good luck 👍👌

great video

Inexperience pair of society finches are good for fostering gouldian finches eggs or experience.?

Why do you breed them in the fall? Days are shorter and shortening making artificial lighting necessary.

Great video

Where did you get the Gouldian cages?

Hello Chris, I don't understand the exact temperature and moisture measurements. Please tell me again.many thanks to you I'm Rostami from Iran 🇮🇷

Question…I lost one of my lady goldian to an eye infection even after I tried 2 different vets. What medication did you use to cure your bird’s eye infection?

Hi Chris, Great videos, I been watching for a while now an just wondered if you had some white panels for the back of your cages, they may help us to see the birds better. Regards Andy from Leeds uk

Very informative many thanks for your helpfulness. 🦜💞

Thank you. Brilliant

Brilliant! What kind of light are you using?

So I just got 6 gouldians ! Am I understanding correctly that males have white beaks and females have black beaks ? Also I have all 6 in one cage and I now have 6 eggs ! Will 2 or more females lay eggs in the same nest or no ? And will a green back mate with a yellow and white? May seem like silly questions but like I said I m new to these guys and sucking in all the info I can get ! And last qu. Why do breeders keep so many birds ? Do you keep a lot of the babies and get rid of the older birds etc... or do you just love them so much you never want to give them up ?

Thanks

Breeders. Woolongong area ???? Wanting to sell Goulians

How do you treat the eye infection? I believe I bought one with an eye infection. 😢

1:35 I'm misunderstanding something about the phenotypes/genotypes - I'm perceiving that a cross between a blue back and a yellow back would result in progeny that are... heterozygous at the two loci... and all wild pheno's? which ARE super pretty, of course... :)

My gouldian also has a eye infection how to fix that infection

What is the perfect cage size for golden finch breeder pair? What is the perfect cage size for bengalis finch fostering pair?

I have a pair that wont court each other. How can i pair them I've already put them in the cage yet the male keeps on checking the nest, and the hen won't cooperate with the male..

can you hand feed/tame a gouldian finch chick? or any other finches? at what time can you take the chick, when feathers are showing?

Hi Chris, I’ve not long brought a pair at a pet shop. The female looks like she wants he’s attention and follow him everywhere he goes, she even tries to get close but what the male seems to be doing back is beaking her away or tries to move away from her. She makes a sound and kinda bowls down to try to get close to him, without him hitting her with he’s beak... what is going on lol? They have all the things they need to breed. 🤔😬😩😅

Do you ever have problems with your birds having air sack mites? My Gouldian finches seem really healthy but when they breed they only have 1 or 2 babies each time. I lost a couple of adult birds to air sac mites. I treat all the birds but every year some get the mites.

How do you tell if eggs are fertile for for Goulians finches

Do ever sell them? Would love to get a pair

My Gouldians just never ever use the nest box, room is heated, lights off 9pm fed on high quality seed buy still no activity

Where. Can I buy pairs of Goulians from breeders in the Illawarra , woolongong

What is the male to female ratio if you were to have more than 2 in an aviary

Hey Chris I have a fawn colored society finch and I also have some pure white! Are these rare or no ?

Thank you ❤

Hi Chris, One the chicks fledged , how much time we should wait to give them new nest box for second clutch ?

Big fan of your videos 😊. I have indoor cage breeding setup for 1 pair. The male is old enough and raised couple of clutches successfully last year. He is a gud father and he spend night inside the cage with hen. First clutch for hen, Both are tight sitters. Yesterday first bay hatched and i found him dead inside the cage. Today the second egg hatched someone tossed him out of the cage and dead. I believe hen is the culprit. I got her 9 months back from Pet store. Must be 1 yr old. Is it a common behaviour. Should i allow them for second clutch?

Hey Chris..always great videos👍 tell me are you going to get yellow rump gouldian,to get that lacing in your birds?

Thank you for this Chris. My male had feathers missing around his face. Every other bearing condition is great. What can I do to help him? They have eggs. Don’t lay on eggs too often.

Hi I have a question my Gouldian finch is breeding but the male is not letting the female into the nest he is chasing and biting her, there is 3 egs in the nest and because of his behavior the female laid another egg outside the nest is this behavior normal

Hi Chris , where are you located? Do you ship Gouldiands?

Skip the preamble and just get into the information.

Bird nerd are you ever going to get any lovebirds ?

Very helpful video.

My gouldian finch she laid eggs but they are not fertile. They are 18 m.

i mean how many months it become full color the feathers

Make video about gouldian it's Spanish, uk, or other breed

Very informative ,thanks for the video!! I'm contemplating buying goolium finches the male and female. But, I don't think I'm ready to take on the task of breeding them.. is it ok to buy them single or fo you have to buy pair? Same question with the zebra finches?

awsum

Should I keep a nestling box in the gage all year round

I think i have a female Gouldian finch, she is basically all green except a black head grey beak, and a light yellow/grey breast/ belly. Does that sound correct?

Tell me please , were do you bay your cages

Hey man, do you know where too look for breeders that sell Bramblings? I'm doing a research for my college and haven't found a breeder who sells Bramblings yet.

How long a break should I give my canaries between clutches

Can gauldian Finch breed in mixed aviary

How can I get a hold of you

Chris, do you ever have to raise any chicks that the parents & society finches refuse to keep them warm. Then do you ever raise them by hand feeding?

How much do you sell a pair of gouldian finch?
