FINCHforum

Here is my first ever! Birdie, a beautiful Gouldian Finch called Mr. Pickles, according to the breeder he is in malt, but i thought id show you guys and see what you think of him

Beautiful Bird. Looks like he is just finishing up his molt. He is a RH/PB/SFYB (Dilute)! Love the name.

Are you planning to get him a buddy? Finches don't do well alone. He needs a friend.

Is he? oh thats good!, and thank you for your lovely comment, im searching now for a Mrs. Pickle to keep him company its just so hard to find them in the uk!

Congrats, nice bird. I've become a big fan of Gouldians, I'm sure you'll enjoy him. My first one has been with owls and stars with no problems in the event you can't find another Gouldian.

Silly question! and i probably know the answer, but can male gouldians be kept with other males?, also he does a have a budgie thats just a acroos the room the sing to eachother, is that enough company for the moment whilst a find him a friend?

He will be fine, just happier with a friend. Yes, males can be kept together.

I love his name too! He would fare so much better with a mate. I have a budgie near my finches and they're amused by each other but it's not the same thing as having their own kind with them. They're such a social bird.

Im going to his breeder today and ask if he can find a friend for my Pickle! but thank you for your help guys i thought males couldn't be kept together aha!!
