Aussie Finch Forum

Hi All,
Has anyone seen a gouldian Fledge with colour, I have a nest of 5, the last 2 to fledge come out with colour. One has a bit of colour and the last has a lot of colour.

Cheers
Daniel.

That's impressive.

Is that normal?

You must have super gouldians

That is very unusual,haven't seen that before Craig

As said by others "very unusual."

They look like "keepers" to me to see if the trait is carried on. Would also keep tabs on the parents to see if next clutch has similar properties.

Ken.

I typically notice slight dimorphism at fledging but these ones are exceptional. The white throat is also prominent even on the young hen siblings. Would be very interesting to see if these young males mature with brighter than usual colour after the moult. I'd ring them & compare them to others later.

impressive and very interesting to see final adult colour, hope it is specially bright. I am still waiting on my yellow to get true colour.

To be able to sex young Gouldians from such a young age would be a great boon to many breeders. Good luck producing more of these

Those are amazing. Beautiful little youngsters and something I've never seen before.

What are you feeding them ?!

Must be that lovely north wollongong air

great looking birds regardless of the colour.

flick me a pm if you ever sell your excess as those birds look good.
