I have a young fully coloured cock bird in my holding aviary along with a mixture of other young, the gouldian in question spends a lot of his time sitting on a perch flapping his wings as if some thing is irritating him, he can fly as normal and appears to be ok apart from the flapping.I caught him up this morning and can't see any obvious reason. Any ideas please?

Cheers Greg.

Don't confuse this for something wrong. Gouldians of both sexes sit on the perch and flap their wings, it is a sign on of being in breeding condition and good health.

Thanks for the reply, I'm a bit new to all this and haven't seen a gouldian doing it before.

Cheers Greg.
