Gouldian pricing
I am about to buy two birds and want to know how fabulous of a deal I am getting. (I think it's good) lol
I will be buying 1 male dilute, and 1 male yellowback. They are both under 1yr and have just finished their first molt. The breeder said 60.oo for the dilute, 80.oo for the yellow OR both for 125.oo!
(I will be getting both!)
What do breeders usually sell these color varieties for? She is a breeder but does it in her home and has about 15 pairs. Her birds get all of the best in food, suppliments, and medications. She treats them like her babies.

Re: Gouldian pricing
Buy both, not only because it is a good deal but it sounds like it's the kind of breeder that you would want to buy from
Post pics when you get home with them

Re: Gouldian pricing
Oh, I know she's an awesome person AND breeder because I've bought/ traded from her before. I bought a female gould from her about 2 months back, and I swapped birds with her too, She gave me 2 Shafttails for 2 of my African Silverbills. She's super nice.
I just was curious if this was the usual going rate with breeders. I thought it seemed like a super good deal.

Re: Gouldian pricing
It's a pretty good deal!!!
I would ordinarily charge $110 for SF Yellow males (which includes Dilutes) and DF Yellow males starting at $135.

Re: Gouldian pricing
I purchased my dilute for $60, but not from a breeder. I thought it was a fantastic deal when I bought him!

Meagan,
I don't know if anyone has said anything but I love your Gouldian signature colors under your name!
Too cute

Thanks Misty! I can't take credit, there are some others on the site that do it also. I stole the idea because I thought it was cute as also.MLaRue wrote:Meagan,

Re: Gouldian pricing
Just got them today. Funds were running low this month so my hubby and my mom both contributed so I could get them, they are a birthday gift.



Aren't they lovely? Not the best angle perhaps. Here are my girls to pair them with. Which ones should I pair with which? Would it even make a difference?

Re: Gouldian pricing
Yes indeed they are pretty.
Is that society considered a saddleback?

Re: Gouldian pricing
I think pretty close. I think the saddlebacks have a triangular marking on their back? Believe it or not, this little hen came from two solid white parents.CandoAviary wrote:Yes indeed they are pretty.Is that society considered a saddleback?

Re: Gouldian pricing
The birds are beautiful. Will you house the pairs together? If so, you could let them choose their mate.
