In the next few weeks, I am hopefully getting a large cage in which I will be keeping and trying to breed a pair of gouldians. I'm pretty excited about finally keeping this gorgeous bird, but it got me thinking; what if I got hold of a small portable camera/recorder thingy (SOMEhow) and put it in the cage/nest? It would be really interesting to watch these little guys in action!

Does anyone know how they would go with it? And how would you set it up?

You may now have to wait until Jan/Feb for the next gouldian breeding season to start. Most Gouldians are well into their moult now.

when your ready to video...the thing that I see a problem with is lighting up the nest box to get images...unless you go for infra red type (which still lights up with LEDs) with motion detection? check this one http://www.chinavasion.com/spy-cameras/ ... ectionred/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or you could go for a camera like doctors use like this http://www.chinavasion.com/dvr-cards-sy ... borescope/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Hope you have fun trying to work it all out :thumbup:
