Lady Gouldian Finch | Bird Products

Both sexes are brightly colored with black, green, yellow, red and other colors. The beak is flesh-colored overall, however, once the adults are in breeding condition, their beak tips turn either reddish, orangish, or blackish.

The females tend to be less brightly colored. One major difference between the sexes is that the male’s chest is purple, while the female’s is a lighter mauve color.

Gouldian Finches’ heads may be red, black, or yellow. People used to think they were three different kinds of finches, but now it is known that they are color variants that exist in the wild. Selective breeding has also developed mutations (blue, yellow and silver instead of green back) in body color and breast color.

Juveniles have distinctive colors. Their heads, sides and necks are grey, and their backs, wings and tail feathers are olive green. Their undersides are pale brown. Beaks are blackish with a reddish tip. Their legs and feet are light brown.

Newly hatched Gouldian finches are pink and naked until about 12 days old when the beginnings of feathers start to appear. Very young birds also have blue, shiny structures on the sides of their beaks to help their parents see them in the dark.

Diet / Feeding: Captive Diet: Gouldian Finches should be provided a good quality finch food as well as soft foods, fresh water every day, a cuttlebone, as well as vitamins. The blue-blacked variety cannot produce their own vitamin A; and therefore, they especially need vitamins in their soft food. Grit and cuttlebone are an important component of a finches’ diet Additional Information: Gouldians are known to be more delicate, more sensitive to temperature differences – and they are susceptible to airsack mites. If your Gouldian suffers from respiratory problems, then this would be the first thing to check out.

Additionally, the Gouldian finches are not known for their parenting skills. Many breeders have zebra or society finches foster the Gouldian finch eggs / chicks to increase survival rate.
