Lady Gouldian Finch

Most Lady Gouldian Finches listed on BirdBreeders.com in the last twelve months were priced between $239 and $259, with a midpoint around $239. That is drawn from 27 real listings by breeders on this site over that period, not an estimate. Price varies with age, hand-feeding, DNA sexing and the breeder's location.

Lady Gouldian Finches typically live 5-8 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.

Quiet. Noise is the most common reason parrots are rehomed, so it is worth being honest with yourself about your home, your neighbours and the hours you keep before choosing a species.

Rarely talks. No individual bird can be promised to speak, whatever the species is known for, so buy for the company rather than the conversation.

An adult is roughly 5.0-6.0 in from head to tail, weighing around 14-20 g.

A minimum of 30in x 18in x 18in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Bar spacing should be 3/8 in or less. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.

A finch seed mix with egg food, fresh greens, cuttlebone and grit, and live food while rearing. More delicate than their looks suggest - they dislike draughts and cold.

For experienced keepers. Ask any breeder directly what they think of the match - a breeder who talks you out of a species is worth more than one who does not.

Low. It matters more than most people expect for anyone with asthma, and it is worth raising with a doctor before buying rather than afterwards.
