Breeding Gouldian Finches: What Wild Gouldians Can Tell Us

Postby fabulousfinch on Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:16 pm

Hello all,

We have just added the article "Breeding Gouldian Finches: What Wild Gouldians Can Tell Us" to our website. The article describes the current practices in keeping and breeding Gouldian Finches at the Save the Gouldian Fund captive research facility in Cooranbong, NSW, Australia, including expanded and new information not included in Mike Fidler's book “The Gouldian Finch.”

The Save the Gouldian Fund has the most advanced Gouldian husbandry research program in the world, and the article will explain not just what they do, but why they do it.

In particular, beginners new to breeding Gouldians should find it helpful in getting on the fast track to success!

    Thanks, Christie!

    I just found this link in another forum to an ABC News video about Drs. Pryke and Griffith and the work they are doing at the Save the Gouldian Fund. Thought you might find it interesting:
