Sorry if this question has been asked in November 2017 my Gouldians were coloured up at the start of November in 2018 the start of December. Have other breeders also experienced their Gouldians colouring up at the start of November ?

Mine were done by about mid-November in 2018. I understand they can drag out their moult (or compress it) depending on the weather conditions.

In 2015 I had young Gouldians still moulting on Christmas day. That was the year it just didn't stop raining through Nov/Dec.

Most of mine started the moult early to mid November and were complete by mid-late December, but having said that I probably have half a dozen or so late fledgers that are only half coloured, still able to sex quite easily though. Still have to do a sort out for this season and the boxes wont be going in for another couple of weeks because of the heat.

All good.

Ken.

All coloured up. Boxs in, first 2 nests have eggs. Was quite cool, but have had sudden heat wave of low to mid 40s
