Welcome tt; you'll find no shortage of help here, nor of people wanting help.
Do your Gouldians tolerate your winter well?
I am a Dutch/Australian dual citizen and notice that in Australila they are almost always in outdoor aviaries, but in Europe they are in cabinets/birdrooms/sheds, or if in outside aviaries they have heating.
Where do you keep yours?

thank you all for the warm welcome. i believe that very few finches come close in comparison to the beauty of gouldians and was thrilled to own a wonderful pair of gouldians-a gourgous BH,WC,GB female and a very beautiful RH,PC,GB male. they fill my house with beautiful sounds all day long and can't wait to see what babies they produce. thats good to hear that i will get even more great features after.
matty: our summers here are not too bad, i could comfortably house my gouldians outside without heating from may to august but choose not to because i worry about rain, predators and sickness. i prefer to keep them indoors where i know they are safe. because i keep them indoors i dont worry about winter because of house heating but you lucky australians and your gorgous weather, animals and nature probably wont understand why i need to keep them inside lol. i want to visit australia one day very badly and could see myself moving there when im older-besides i dont think the accent would ever get old {i'd probably start calling random people just to hear the lovely australian accent}.

you can call me, lol. i dont even know if my accent is that noticeable. but i'd say that people from other countries would find it very noticeable.

Hi, welcome to the forum

Assuming your birds are not split for any other colours.
When you get young from your pair they will be
R/b PC/w GB cocks
RH PC/w GB hens

If your cock bird is split to BH you will possibly see some BH, the hens will be BH or RH, the cocks will be BH or R/b
If you get an YH that would indicate both parents are split YH .

You can find out the full options by downloading the Gouldian Genetic Forecaster, there is a link in this topic.
