Why are my Gouldians quiet?

Post by Horiph » Sat Aug 05, 2017 6:44 am

I recently bought two of Gouldians (one male, one female) 2 days ago and they somehow easily became tame but the thing that bugs me the most is that they aren't making any noise or showing attraction within themselves.

They will take some time to fully adjust and bond. It took my pair several months before the female tolerated the male's advances.

I have a pair of Gouldians and the female is molting. The male still looks fine. Do I need to do anything other than feed her extra protien, calcium, ? Will the male start molting also?

It is not unusual for Gouldians to sit very still and not make a sound the first little while after coming to their new home.

It will take some time for them to become comfortable.
