2 gouldian's or 1 canary

Post by Tish » Sat Jan 21, 2017 12:46 am

When I get my double cage I was thinking of asking for a special present, but what should I ask for? 2 gouldian's or a canary? Which one is more quiet? My societies are quiet most of the time and I like that, my sister is my neighbor and not a fan of consent and loud squawking every second of the day. Which species would get along good with my society finches? This will be my last bird(s) I can get, so I want to pick the right bird(s) please help me choose the best species for me.

Definitely Gouldians.

Male Canary song (god love them) is loud LOUD, while Females chirp.

Male Gouldian song, is like a soft lisping whisper, and the Females have a soft chirp.

I was thinking of the gouldian's, but a yellow canary really is beautiful, but so are the gouldian's. I think I will go with gouldian's they will probably be best for me.

I would agree with Elana. I have 3 canaries and my male sings quite loud at times. I just received my first pair of Gouldians today and they have a much softer voice. Good luck with whichever bird you decide to purchase ! :)
