Well rescued this pair of gouldian's for $100 cage included on craigs list,they are in quartine (jail)for now treating for 3 days NV powder in water,then will do one treatment of scatt on thigh and one treatment of worm away in water then wait to see how they do before adding to my flight cages.It may take a little longer because they seem to have dry and scaly feet and beak and a little small in size they are about 1 1/2 years old.Wish me luck.

Good luck with them! With rescued birds, you may want to quarantine longer than usual, since you don't really have any history on them.

lem2bert I started out with one F030 cage and a pair of society and from there I have three of those cages together now with a family of six society,then I have two of the same cage together and have a canary,a pair of red cheeked and a pair of goldbreast,then when I get the new ones I will join them and plan on just puting gouldians in that one I have two pairs,but thinking I need one more pair before I put them together,have read that they do better with two or six or more but who knows it might work because flight cage will be like 74"X27" Will post when all done :D

@Madcat I feel lucky to have found them,thought they were always pretty but they seemed to be so fragile,but there pretty strong and adaptable little birds.I bought my first pair with a store credit and fell in love with them.this is my second pair
