Lady Gouldian Finch FOR SALE.

The Lady Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) is admired for its vivid combination of red head coloration and bright yellow back. This classic Gouldian variety offers a striking appearance while retaining the small, active nature that makes finches interesting to observe. These juveniles are approximately 3 months old and fully weaned, with male and female birds visually distinguishable as they mature.

Classic Red Head and Yellow Back

The Red Head Yellow Back combination is one of the most recognizable Gouldian color patterns. The intense head coloration contrasts with the yellow back and colorful body, creating a distinctive look. Individual birds can differ in the intensity and distribution of their colors, especially while developing their adult plumage. This makes each finch slightly different in appearance.

Cage Setup and Environment

Gouldian Finches benefit from a spacious, secure enclosure that allows regular flight. A cage around 24 inches long can provide a starting point for an individual, while approximately 30 inches or more is preferable for a pair. Place the enclosure somewhere calm and protected from drafts, sudden temperature changes, and excessive household activity. A stable environment around 68–78°F (20–25°C) is generally comfortable.

Feeding and Social Care

A quality finch seed mixture can provide the foundation of the daily diet. Sprouted seeds and suitable egg food may also be offered as complementary foods rather than relying on a single food source. Fresh water should be available every day, and feeding routines should remain consistent during the transition into a new home.

Gouldian Finches are social birds and generally do best with compatible finch companionship. They can potentially live alongside peaceful small finch species when there is sufficient space and careful introductions are made.
