We had a good chat and he feels that even though I am a newbie, that I will be fine with Gouldians. (I sure hope so). He had some lovely Society finches too, that I could get if I change my mind. The fact that I have joined this forum and have been doing my research helped his decision!
I am smitten with Gouldians. I love the red-headed normal, and his blues were outstanding, as were the yellows. But the price tag is a bit high for this newbies budget for those incredible colours.
I believe I am going to choose a Red-head normal male, and a black head normal female as my pair, unless anyone has any suggestions?!
(He said I could get a blue female and a split normal male, in case I wanted to breed in the future, and then I would get both blues and normals! - but oo la la, the initial cost!) I have no intention of breeding really though.
