So glad he has improved =D>
His voice may come back in time, he also may not be big on singing, they each have their own personality. As long as he's health and improving I wouldn't worry.
best of luck

I bought another male yesterday. That male seems healthy but he is also chirping only, not singing. Is it normal for some males not to sing?

I can't say I've ever come across a male gouldian that didn't sing eventually.

Maybe to try to get these males to sing, you can separate them from other Gouldians, and they might sing as a way to try to attract others of their own kind. I have a boy right now in quarantine with some societies, and the poor guy seems like he's wearing himself out trying to find out why there are no other Gouldians responding to his constant singing.

One of the male was sick. I just treated him with S-76 a couple of weeks ago. The other i just brought yesterday. May be he is still stressed.
