I have one adult male and one juvenile (gray, don't know the sex) Gouldian. I have noticed today that the male was doing a mating dance in front of my juvie. I have two questions:
1) Should I be concerned about this?
2) Does this mean that my juvie is a female?
Don't Gouldians look like easter eggs

They look like very beautiful Easter eggs.
I would not worry about your boy singing and dancing in front of your juvie. Males, will occasionally display to other males, and will definitely sing to one another.
Is your Juvie coloured up yet? If not, than there is a possibility that it may be a female. Until Gouldians colour up, it's hard to sex them.

My male juvie gouldians usually start to sing when they are around 10 weeks old before getting any colored feather. If your juvie gouldian is more than 10 weeks old, he should be singing if he is a male. They do not sing regularly at this age though.
