Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae)

Gouldian Finch
Erythrura gouldiae


Sexing - 


The female has a lighter purple breast (black headed female pictured).


Noise -


Medium to low. There pleasant chirps are still noticeable.


General Care -


They have good temperament and are compatible with other non aggressive parrot and finches. They will rarely hybridize with other finches and should be monitored with parrots to avoid damage to feet. Care should be taken to insure no small gaps are available in the aviary for escape routes and when using doors care should be taken as they are very fast. Finch seed should be provided and supplemented by seeding grasses, greens, fruit and vegetables.


Breeding -


I will be providing a standard wooden finch nesting box. Can breed all year round.
