This web site will
provide you with information on a range of different gouldian
finch topics to help and increase your knowledge about the gouldian finch.
Our goal is to improve
your success with the raising and breeding of the gouldian finch in an outdoor aviary.
Introduction To The Gouldian Finch
One of the most
beautiful birds of the world would have to be the Gouldian Finch
without a doubt.
The gouldian finch originated
from the Northern tropical areas of Australia and you may wonder why it
doesn't acclimatize to the cooler regions? Well I can assure you that
there are people in warm climates who have given up keeping gouldian
finches because it has broken their hearts.This bird is not easy to keep and maintain without gouldian knowledge or correct advice from a gouldian enthusiast. This is why I have created a website to help others achieve success also just as I have over the many years I have been breeding and maintaining my colony of happy gouldian finches.
Helping others maintain a
successful colony of finches is my ultimate aim. Gouldian
health plays a major role in the aviary. It is not just
the cold that causes fatalities but a lack of knowledge of the bird
itself. Although the gouldian finch comes from a tropical climate it
does and it can acclimatize itself to cooler areas and breed more
readily than some of the other Australian finches.
They even do
remarkably well in England and even colder places such as Canada and breed
successfully also. The gouldian finch can be acclimatized to various
climatic conditions if you know how to treat them correctly but if you
treat this finch in the same way as other Australian grass finches then
you will have failures.
The absolute key to
this finch is solid knowledge. Obtaining experience and knowledge from
other gouldian aviculturists or good quality web sites is highly
recommended. Try to join a bird club for example or an online forum.
You may have a local bird club with members who are gouldian finch
fanciers that will be more that willing to share their knowledge with
you.
Understanding the
likes and dislikes of the gouldian is the key to success along
with a well designed and constructed outdoor
aviary.
