yes he has been a dad a few times over and such a great little bird

he was my first hand raised goulidan

[trungduccountryboy]

but could u tell me why a tamed gouldian finch can have babies ? He was imprinted on you, and nevertherless, he can not recognise his female mates, so how can he act like a normal gouldian ? I'm going to hand feed a gouldian baby, but i'm so scared :( Will he have ability to breed in the future? Could he recognise his girl friends ?

ahhh ... but he is not imprinted on me , he was slowly introduced to the aviary a couple of hours a day with other gouldians , then permanently when he was more confident and he went on to choose a mate and breed babies, he has turned out to be my best father gouldian ! he loves to raise babies, though now he is is getting old , he is near 7 years old now but still is happy.

put them in the aviary after weaning for short periods they soon revert to wild behaviour.

How the heck did you train a finch?

[julieg54]

@yarekhunt He was hand raised from a couple of days old so he was very tame he just did that himself when I put my finger in front of him .. I guess he thought it was a mate so did his dance lol

Oh, what a beautiful bird! Although I've had the "Average Joe" zebra finch all my life, I've always wanted a rainbow Gouldian! You're lucky to have one!
