Hi I have heard that they have developed in Europe a large size gouldian just like the zebra finches. Has anyone heard or seen these birds, where can I get to see a picture of such bird compared to a normal size gouldian finch, any links would be appreciated.

Thanks

Neeraj

Click on that link and this is south of sydney australia. i got my first birds off him. Notice it says 8 yrs of progress. Pete breeds some real quality. Glad my first birds came from him :D

Virtually double the size of the normal bird.
