In today's episode we chat to various Spanish breeders from the Club Espanol Del Diamante De Gould. The video has English subtitles for when the people being interviewed are speaking Spanish.
Please email us photos of your birds, or comment on the video with questions you may have. I do try and respond to every question and I also appreciate your suggestions for topics. (Please bear in mind that if it is not something I am personally well informed about it may take a while to do an episode on the topic as I need to find an expert who is able to share their knowledge.
Please also feel free to email me if you wish to also do a breeder feature and highlight your club.

I see the size variation here in UK, some birds are much larger than others.

Hi. I noticed the size difference as well. Our SA birds are a fair size smaller.

Great video as usual, I've made a video on the Australian finch showcage, which we use in the UK, it on you tube , How to make Australian finch showcage. Just thought it might be of interest to you, Thanks again for your videos, look forward to the next one.

Hi. Please send me the link, I would love to see it. Have you heard about the upcoming Gouldian Online World show?

@thehouseofgouldians yes I have heard of the world show, I'm a member of the British gouldian finch club, they have asked me to make 10 cages with the plastic fronts for them to use in the show.

Thanks for this video, Clyde, I appreciate the effort this took with the translating and interviews! I feel a bit uneasy about the Spanish standard now, this gouldian seems to be almost like a canary/gouldian hybrid. Very far from the wild bird...just my thoughts - Lainey

Hi Lainey. It is a fine line between improving and changing a bird. I think the first thing we need to remember is that it is a colour bird. The colour and markings are of utmost importance.

I agree, yes, but the wild bird does have a substantial beak and a fairly lean body build so in the Spanish standard we are drastically moving away from this. Of course we do this with dogs and cats etc - but will the lives/wellbeing of the individual gouldians suffer for being changed so radically? just wondering..I have imported Spanish Gouldians into the US and seen a large number of health issues....Lainey@@thehouseofgouldians

I agree the show standard should not cause harm and personally I prefer for the show standard to keep with the same proportions as the wild bird.
