LGFC UPDATES ( monthly work we do to better this site) Can you say BUSY Wow what a season !! Close to 60 chicks weaning and loads of shipping to do. We realized that having very relaxed rules and relaxed attitude had made us vulnerable and so had to institute a few changes. We updated our terms and conditions page to reflect these new changes. We also learned that some clients did not know that we custom breed the gouldians for them and I assume thought that we just happened to like the same colours as them ') That is why we breed on consignment only. We are probably the only aviary you will find that will custom breed the gouldians for you, so that you get exactly what you ask for within reason ') Other than that ...wow can you say chicks.... Where did the season go?? One minute the first egg were being laid and now we are at the very tail end of it. We had some very nice show stock born this season ( over 8 potentials) and so look forward to the shows in mere months. we were greatly impressed with how the red bengalese turned out. We were expecting a lot of pieds and did get them but also got two amazing self reds. We feel these two will really launch the red gene pool in the aviary. Also this was a good year for the blue gouldians at Lady Gouldian Finch Canada We were able to get many chicks from split to blue with blue parent pairings. The result is some very healthy robust looking blue gouldian finches. Where all these babies are coming from and what balance we have found I cannot say, but i am sure it is due in part to our newer formula Protein Complete, our G I F T and our diligence to the details. Finally got the trophy page up. Took me many months to get the whle thing done. Loads of pics and poranizing. I hope the page will allow you to see our progression and growth over teh years. Have put new pics of the babies in my photo folder: (must be signed in to yahoo in order to view them) We were estimating 35 chicks this season but may get closer to 65 So we will keep all those in our cancellations list updated as to what is going on in regards to all these extra fids. We now sell S76. We enjoy your comments so please send them to us via the e-mail link below. . As always please feel free to how we are doing and what you would like to see on the site. Got a question please post it to our forum or at our yahoo group and I'll see if I can answer it for you. JOIN US ON

LGFC Well here we are in 2010.. We are hoping this year is very productive for all our clients, friends and family. We have been quite busy on twitter this last month and have some awesome tips there for all to enjoy including tips on training your gouldians to parent rear. Things are settling down in the aviary. We have bred many amazing birds this season but the ones that give us the most promise are the bad white breasts. We are hoping to get some good blue breasts in 2-3 generations. A mutation that has all but disappeared in gouldian aviculture. There is a slight snag in our lutino line but one we are hoping to iron out. This second generation of lutino babies is less hardy then their parents were so we may have to breed back to a much hardier strain to preserve what we have in this mutation. We are sad to report that Yankee is no longer with us. He passed rather quickly and the autopsy proved in conclusive. He was a superb father and he will be sadly missed. We purchased quite a few books ( several copies in fact) from Australian Bird Keeper as well as amazing DVDs on breeding more naturally. So we were quite busy these last few weeks reading and catching up on loads of pertinent new information in the study of gouldians. So as you can tell this last little while has been about research and up dating. If you are looking for amazing new books that will tell you all you need to know about these amazing birds please check out our new book page. Cleaning Flights preparing chicks for shows. We still are very glad that our newer formula Protein Complete, our G I F T and our diligence to the details have made this another amazing breeding season at Lady Gouldian Finch Canada previous blog can be found here: We enjoy your comments so please send them to us via the e-mail link below.
