Where to find Gouldians??

[lnlovesorange]

Hello fellow finch friends, I am new to the finch world, and in my recent studies, research and this forum, i am slowly but SURELY falling in love with Gouldians. I am in MA (near Boston) and was wondering if anyone is near me, or knows how i could get a pair? I am not too concerned with any specific color mutations, as i think they are all beautiful. I would be keeping them in an indoor cage, not any aviary. Any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks all.

Search for Boston or Massachusetts here. You might find posts of people in that area. Also look on national finch society website I think it's called. U can look by state.

You can check out Pet Shops. Maybe not the best option, but sometimes the only option. Also look up any Bird Clubs in your area. That way, you might meet up with more bird people, and also be able to get more information, about who is breeding what in your area. Another option is checking on line. I have found several of my feathered babies on Kijiji.

Goodluck

This time of year, until July, a lot of the Gouldian babies are going through a critical molting process. Moving or shipping them can be dangerous before June-July plus hard to identify gender n colors. This is why you won't see many advertised now.

Thanks for all the info guys!! This site really is the best!! and June or July actually sounds like a great time to get them. SO that sounds perfect!! Thanks everyone, always so helpful!!

Try Lainey Alexander - she is in MA and she is an excellent resource for beautiful, healthy babies.

Assuming she is still breeding, that is.

nixity I actually found her website (i can't remember how) And she isn't selling any birds. I don't know if she isn't breeding anymore or what, but she was looking for only trades with other breeders. But thank you. I actually found someone in NH, and already have my babies put aside for me!!! Can't WAIT!!!! Thanks all.

Wow! Congratulations girl!
This must be such a time of excitement and expectation for you. How old are they? What colours? When do you go to pick them up?

I'm so excited for you.

Did you find the breeder through the Forum? I know that Tammie (Harley (?)) Who a member on the Forum, is looking to re-home her birds (due to family issues) She has Gouldians, European Golds, budgies, and can't recall what else. She lives in New Jersey (not sure how far that is for you, or if interested)
