Emmy 528 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 I've finally got one pair of my goudians incubating 3 eggs. This time I've just used an ordinary nest box, same as I use for the zebra finches. Last year I did buy a special nest box for them where they had to step down when they went into the nest box but of all the eggs laid I only got one chick. Be interesting to know if anyone else breeds gouldians what type of nest box they use. Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmy 528 Report post Posted March 2, 2016 Thanks Clare and Allan, So far that pair are still incubating the 3 eggs but the other 3 pairs of gouldians are not even looking at their nest box and the two pairs of owl finches don't seem to be interested in their nest boxes either. Hopefully one day they will give me surprise Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
