LGFC UPDATES ( monthly work we do to better this
site) Well here we are in the Fall of 2011.. We are hoping this year is very productive for all our clients, friends and family. We have been quite busy on facebook this last month and have some awesome tips there for all to enjoy including tips on training your gouldians to parent rear. A new season is about to begin. Last season we had some ups and downs but not as bad as 2010. This year we hope to change all that by imporoving where we failed last year. This is a very hectic time when all the excess stock is sold and we start with a fresh batch of fids. We are hoping that this years team is a marked improvement over the 2011 team, that did produce some winners as well as some amazing mutations/modifications. We had for the first time 3 dirty blue breased goulds from the pair we purchased. Sadly none were great in type. I have a new favourite now...his name is Pumpkin in honour of Halloween. He is a yelllow suffusion orange headed lilac breasted male. I saw a picture of this mutation when first breeding and am so glad I can replicate it. He took any other mutation categories very easily. He is large for a yellow regardless of mutation and his shape is superb. He lost out to the slightly larger normals but seemed to always place second best against even those behomths. I am thrilled to have him to help increase my line of yellows. He was a stand out the instant he coloured out as you can see by the pic. We were very honored this year to sponsor the finch division at the Canadian Nationals. It was very good seeing the few novice breeders and the enthuthiasm they have to compete. All in all the show was typical when you have breeders stewarding. The main thrill for me was composing a poster that featured Goliath prominently. It reminded me of why and how being my first show gouldian he was so important to me. We were gifted a group on yahoo called OntarioBird Exchange and with it and others we are making selling at a fair price for the breeder all that more accessible to novices and pros alike. No more fees just post to 10s of hundreds of people in a day and watch the offers pour in. We are also finally getting the straggling gould chicks colouring out. They wete hatched very late in the season. We set up the Java Sparrows this month and already have a nice split pair on eggs. We will pair the goulds minus the two pair that have 2 month old chicks beginning mid November So as you see we are very busy and looking forward to the suprises and challenges brought forth in the 2012 season. :-) TS (')> We still are very glad that our newer formula Protein Complete, our G I F T and our diligence to the details have made 2011 another very 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.
