I came home from SpeedB.A.G. 2010 and was greeted by a nest full of baby Gouldian Finches (native to Australia, I believe)! It was pretty exciting. I have heard they are hard to breed in the US.
We've been trying to find a good mate for our male finch, and we finally found a female who was interested in him!
This is a very short video of one of the finches. He's still unsteady on his legs.
The babies are a little drab-looking, but when they mature, WOW, their feathers are nearly every color in the rainbow. Gorgeous little birds. We have dedicated a wall of our family room windows to a big indoor aviary. In the summertime we open a window to let them fly out to the attached outdoor aviary. It's a pretty sweet set-up for our feathered friends...
