Just wondering if anyone feeds live food to there Gouldian's? If so what?
I feed meal worm's to my Parsons and Shaft-tail and they love them, Gouldian's wont look at them.
Thanks

gouldians dont get a look in when the live food is put in the aviary here, the rest of the birds are too fast.
have found that my gouldians are not huge eaters of livefood from a dish. however they will eat any mealworms or maggots that they find on the aviary floor. so I started to put a few in the gouldians favourite scrounging area ( in a container that I have millet growing in) each day.

I haven't had any luck with the gouldians eating live food, they will check it out and thats it, its just a matter of time till they get use to it

My gouldians are in mixed avairys that have mealworms suplied.I cant say I have ever seen one eating a mealworm.

My Gouldian don't care much for mealworms either. I'd offer it to them many times, they don't pay much attention to it. Don't know why?. But green foods *lettuces and spinach, I have to say they go crazy. hehe My zebras love the mealworms though.

Thanks i might give the green food a go and see if they eat it.

endive ia reasonably priced at the moment and my stars and firetails cant get enough of it
