• Temperament: Known for their captivating appearance, Lady Gouldian Finches are primarily “watching only” birds. They are delicate and can become stressed if handled, which can be detrimental to their health. Due to their sensitive nature, they are best suited for experienced avian enthusiasts rather than beginners.
• Breeding: These finches typically nest in tree-holes close to water sources. Their breeding season aligns with the early part of the dry season when food is abundant. The male performs an elaborate courtship dance, showcasing his vibrant feathers. After mating, the female lays a clutch of 4 to 8 eggs, with both parents sharing the responsibility of incubation and chick care. The young fledge the nest at about 19 to 23 days and become independent around 40 days of age. For successful breeding, provide a small, covered nesting box or basket with some nesting material to assist the finches in their nest-building process.
• Diet: To maintain optimal health, Lady Gouldian Finches thrive on a diet that includes Gouldian Finch Seed, Cuttlefish Bone, Dried Egg Food, Herb Salad, and Millet Sprays. Liquid iodine is also essential to their diet.
