Hi

Today I have had my first gouldian fledgeling. Now I have to get a couple more breeding pairs.

Rox I lost about 3 lots of babies through bad luck last year. I know now that breeding Gouldians is relatively easy. I just need more adults. Got any coloured up young for sale? My other pair are sitting on 7 eggs.

Wow! Look at that beautiful little darling (all fresh and new and curious about the big world :-))

Congratulations Marius, and good luck with the rest.

Sorry Marius, I don't have any at the moment. I took the last of my colored up youngsters to the pet shop just before Christmas. Check with Hannes (Stellenbosh), he might be getting some birds in.

My pairs have started nesting again, so should have more chicks soon :D
