My New Gouldians!

Post by BunnyApocalypse » Sat Mar 12, 2016 4:18 pm

I just got my cage and birds today, and although they aren't owl finches like I thought I'd get, I still like them. Meet Socrates (right) and Plato (left)!

Pretty boys, love the names, lol.

You mentioned that you got the Gouldians, not the Owls you expected..... this got my curiosity going. Did you order Owls, and Get Gouldians instead?

OoOoOoOoOohhhh... Blues... They are purdy!!! Congrats... nothing better than new birds (just got my societies a week ago!) LOL Isn't it funny how they look so small in a cage like that? I remember when I got my Gouldians (i knew they were small, I had Zebras) but I got them at a bird show, and I remember thinking how does all that color fit on such a tiny body?! LOL (the 2nd pic of the entire cage made me think of this) But what beauties, are they both Males?
