Picked up a pair of green back gouldians last night!
No, no, they followed me home!
That's what I will tell the Mrs!
Male is BH WB GB
Female is YH PB GB
I'm going to try aviary breeding instead of cage.
I want to get two more pairs and let them at it!
Let them choose their own mates and build where they want in the aviary, just like in nature!
I will post some pics later today.

Re: I couldn't help myself! Really I couldn't !
That's exactly what I did with mine. They really are way more active when they have space. I have them in with red throat parrot finches and they hold their own well.BigBear0007 wrote: I'm going to try aviary breeding instead of cage.
