Thanks Halfinch. I appreciate your offer.
I ordered via postal delivery and had them inside 3 days for $6.95 delivery. I intend having a look at their 'shop' next time I am out that way due to their impressive web-site.

You're welcome Dave.
I put 3 boxes in using those brackets and have 1 egg in two of them within 2 weeks. They maybe just playing, I don't know since I'm new to Gouldians.
Good luck.

Sounds promising, give them greens on the off chance that all will go well.

Yeh,thanks Finchbreeder
I'm giving them Broccoli and an assortment of greens including dandelion. I wanted to buy meal worms but I'm still having that discussion with my wife.
It seems She doesn't like the idea of worms in the Fridge, :problem:

Don't bother with mealworms for Gouldians - they very rarely touch them. Would be better of giving grass seed heads & sprouted seed as regular supplements.

OK Thanks Tiaris
I'll definitely look at that. I've been considering sprouted seeds for a while. The Black headed pair now have 3 eggs in one box, so I'll see how they go.
