** FINALLY GOT MY GOULDIANS**

Post by annague » Thu Dec 16, 2010 12:31 am

I finally have some gouldians!! (Actually they are on their way in about a week -- my husband to pick them up).

Since I joined the forum I have salivated over the gorgeous pictures of other people's gouldians, relished the stories people told about their gouldians and basically planned and schemed over a way to get some for myself (and I didn't want just any, either; I wanted NICE gouldians). :mrgreen:

Thanks to Misty LaRue for making my desire a reality! She has graciously parted with 4 of her exquisite babies.

Misty was very patient with all my questions, took some wonderful pictures for me and helped me through all the genetic scenarios I posed for her. :lol: Bottom line: I just couldn't be happier.

So, I am attaching pictures of the foundation stock for my future gouldian breeding program. I want to get to know their personalities before I try to name them so names will come later.

Thanks everyone. I can't take credit for the Dream Team (as I'm calling these 4) since they are Misty's progeny and she deserves the recognition for them but I am very happy to have been able to purchase such nice birds. :D

Congratulations! So lucky to have been able to purchase from someone on this forum, and with so much knowledge of the gouldians. You have a really great assortment of colours there! =D>
