Jayburd would be the fella to ask that question ....he is away until tomorrow I think but a private message will get his attention as soon as he logs back in .

He would also know of breeders local to Canberra ... :thumbup:

Hi Finchman101,
do you live in canberra? if so, I wonder if I know you... :D
I would personally not trust any of the pet shops around to give you best-quality gouldians... I mostly supprt them but you get what I mean I'm sure...
after any mutation in particular? once I know I can do some asking around ;)
will PM you

Hi jayburd
No I do not live in Canberra I'm from wagga wagga but some of my family do and I'm here until tomorrow. I went to the belconnen pet store in oatley court looking for yellow split to blue gouldians or normal split to blue, hoping I could start a new line of birds, the guy that works there said He doesn't have any at the moment but he does know a guy that's been breeding goulds for 20 years. But he didn't give me a name or anything he just gave me his card and told for me to ring him up at the end of the year but if you know anyone that I could contact that would be very helpful, thanks :D :lol:

I know there is a guy in Wagga that breeds good quality gouldians. Suggest you contact the Riverina Finch Society might be able help. or PM me with your contact details and I will pass it on.
