Male Strawberry finch alone.

Post by Louys » Wed Jun 08, 2016 9:32 pm

I have a Gouldian couple. Just about to get a larger cage to be able to have more birds.

Somebody here is selling aone male strawberry finch. He had him for 2 years and is not sure about the age....
He says that the bird has been housed with many different species without a broblem. He is not asking for a high price so i am tempted, as my Gouldians are a little too quiet and a bird sound in the house would be great.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

A single male Strawberry should get along fine with your Gouldian pair. Male berries have a lovely song, so he should fit right in with what you are wanting.
