Hi guys my name is steve and i live in the uk.Just got 2 new pairs of Gouldians after a 2 year break from birds.My original idea was to start up with our native birds like Goldfinches,Bullfinches and Siskins but at the Staffordshire summer bird show i came across these stunners and i was hooked on Gouldians once again :D .I know from reading some of the posts on here that some of you are'nt overstruck on blues but i can honestly say that all the times i have kept blues (touch wood) i have never lost a bird.Maybe they are'nt so delicate over here ;) Now ive just gotta try and figure out how to put some pics of them up :oops:

Hi and welcome to the forum Steve from an ex pat.

I love the gouldians and next year I hope to get some white fronted yellow backed birds and who knows where that will lead, would love it to lead to breeding blue birds.

Hi there and welcome.From what i understand gouldian mutations are alot more established in Euroupe and North America.So you would have a lot stonger strains your way.
