Lilly is the proud mother
of 8 baby Gouldians this is her first
clutch of babies, in 2007.
Lilly was a Christmas gift
from a very special family who actually inspired me to breed and raise, Gods beautiful creatures
I suppose you could say, "we caught bird fever" from them
.Our first Sun Conure baby (Cello) came from them it was the sweetest baby we had ever had , as soon as we opened
her crate ,she went straight to my husband and cuddled under his chin , making those sweet baby noises.
*** Please read if you are considering raising Lady Gouldian
Finches ***
So as our bird fever grew and
did it ever ! We have since
bought our Lady Gouldian Finches from them too "Actually
twice we have bough them . The First time I had bought 10
babies (Juveniles) . I had ended up with 4 pair and 2 females.
We had let them grow into adult birds and given nest boxes
to them , I was very excited , we were gonna have gouldian babies.
We did and they pitched their babies staight out of the nest
boxes. I kept getting so discouraged . Well to make a long story shorter , I sold them to a friend who was waiting
for babies from our pairs. We missed them terrible ! My husband said you want be happy until you get some more
, He said ask "Beth" , why they wouldnt feed their babies ?
So that fall , I called "Beth & Family " at home
aka www.Pamperedpeeps.com . "Lisa" , The oldest daughter anwered . I told her , I sold
my Goulds . she replied " WHY" , I explained ! "They just wouldn't feed their babies ".They
would consistenly ,sit until they hatched . Then, I would find them on the bottom of the cage. I was
(Heart Broken) from it.
Beth and I went over everything . What I was feeding , if
I feed sprouts ? It seemed , I was doing everything needed "EXCEPT"
Were , I had them in the (Kitchen) . Their
wasn't enough privacy and the cage was way to small for 10 gouldians to breed and feel comfortable . I wished ,I had
called her before I made
my misstake . It was to late , I had sold them . If only
I had been patient .
I ask , "if I could buy some more". I had to Promise
the girls
Jessie, Lisa and Anna . I wouldn't sell them . I did
so
I bought 16 this time . "Gary", my husband made me
the perfect
Gouldian Aviary outside .Its 8ft x 6ft x6ft , Since
we have been very blessed with lots of Parent fed gouldians .
We will attach a couple of Gouldian videos of parents feeding
the babies soon !!
