Today i found that my Gouldians have babies,dad an i had a look today and we could see 4 babies.The nest they picked is is hard to see in, there is a little opening on top for us the check in.I could not see any eggs so looks like they were all fertile.
I boiled up some egg for them and tomorrow i will get some green seed heads.

well done mate, keep up the greens etc and avoid too many nest checks.

Congratulations. Greens every day increasing the quantity as the babies grow. Inspections weekly or if you don't hear them for a couple of days.

Thanks everyone.
This is the first babies in my avairy,i never planned to breed finches in the avairy because its only small.
I had been watching the Goulds in the avairy so i had a fair idea there might be eggs in there.
Sometimes i do check the nests(cabinets) a bit much but because its in the avairy and the nest is hard to check i left them alone and got a good result..
I think i have the right balance of birds in my avairy now because they are all breeding,i have 2 pair of CFW Zebras on eggs,1 Canary that i bred and 2 king Quail that keep the floor tidy..
Off to get green seeds tomorrow
