My New Gouldian Pair

Post by rcharrod » Tue Aug 11, 2015 7:32 pm

Here they are - I'm very excited! I can't wait to see how they get along (hopefully babies someday!). Male is green back, purple breast, black head. Hen is yellow back, white breast, black head(?)

Beautiful pair! Congratulations!!!

I especially love your new little girl, oh so pretty. As to your new little boy, I have a youngster very similar to him, just finishing his first molt, only he has a white breast.

All the best of luck with future breeding.
