Should all be aware of the plight of gouldians in the wild hey....have a plan in my head that ( fingers crossed ) if I get a successful breeding programme happening that I should donate money from each sale to the save the gould fund..
not sure if I heard correctly but I think on catalyst they said only 3000 wild birds remaining yikes thats not very many considering that they have to contend with weather , predators , envionment issues and illegal trapping....
