Liz,

Gosh - those tails are gorgeous! Are the parents like that too? Is the father a red lined bird too? What are the parents? Are these babies split to blue? There are so many things I like about these birds! Too bad you are in Canada! :)

Beautiful birds!

I know Susan personally and she is a wonderful person! A real dedicated bird keeper.

Almost like a sea green, but I think it's because of the blue lines or being split or something.

But I figure if I'm shipping from GA I should just hold out for some of Misty's ;)
LOL
Thanks Tiffany! I still owe you a picture of that BH PB GB STB OTB female! :wink:

Misty, what colors are you working with other than the red line and lilac breast?
:) My focus right now is on the red lines, lilac breasts and OH's. Maybe not all on the same bird but a girl can dream! :wink:

I got my pair of gouldians from Susan at the last bird fair in Atlanta. (But not blue ones, just a red head and a black head.) The birds are doing great, being healthy and happy.
She was VERY nice when I bought my birds from her, explained a lot about gouldians since I am new to this species, and even walked me over to another vendor who had nice nest boxes. She also took a long time picking out the couple of birds with me, making sure to give me an unrelated pair.
If I ever get more gouldians I would certainly get them from her again.
Walk-in aviary with Waxbills (6 Cordon Bleu, 3 Orange Cheek, 3 Black-rumped, 1 Lavender, ), 1 European Goldfinch, 4 Gouldians, 2 Spice Finches, 6 Owl Finches, 4 Budgies and 2 male Button Quail.
I also have 2 parrotlets, 3 dogs, 1 snake and 3 freshwater fishtanks.

WOW! Misty, these photos are so beautiful!!

How do you get these great shots of your gouldians? I love the flower pictures, but after all... flowers aren't flying away. ;-)
