Stocking!

[Maze]

The finch combo should work.
But do make sure the avairy is totally - but totally - cold wind proofed.
Gouldians have no under down like most birds do.
They are a desert bird and in the wild spend the night in white ant nests - the worlds best insulated things - or hollow logs.
I have lost many of the little sods over the years to an unexpectedly cold wind. Boy have they been one heck of a learning curve.

But thanks! I'll get some logs!! Thanks!!

That is Aussie dollars - but translated still 50% more than you pay.

Give me millet - Quails
(Btw looking back on this photo is his beak overgrown?

My daughter is based in Brisbane.
Though being an environmental scientist she travels a lot.
Out on the Atherton Tablelands somewhere at the moment.

Omg that sounds like so so much fun!!!
I'm 7 hours away from Brisbane (higher up). But I went down there last week for the cat show last week lol! . It's nice but extremely cold rn imo

His beak looks OK front on - side on is best to assess if there is a problem.
Miss looks a bit bare round the head - not uncommon when the cock bird is being attentive.
Just lost a hen today - she has been laying and sitting to excess. Seemed real healthy apart from that - then went down earlier today - and stone cold dead. That is an odd one.

I'm 4 1/2 hrs north of Perth.
We think it is cold down there too.
But have to go and visit the son sometimes. Well I guess we don't have to - but we want to.

Ohh that's so so sad. So sorry for your loss. Miss is bald from the previous breeder(I think he said there was overstocking) . I got her a month or so ago! She's starting to regrow it though!! If Mr is being naughty and making her bald more I'll find another hen. (To prevent overmating, though I haven't seen sir mounting her, )They still don't have any names
Any suggestions?

Oh I hope U have fun next time U go down! Ive always wanted to go to Perth but it's the same price as going to Korea and my parents say "we have no reason to go to Perth." (I really wanna see numbats, my mums from Korea so we have an excuse to go there but numbats should be a good enough reasoning!)

You will only see the Numbats in the Zoo.
Unless you go creeping round the bush in the southwest - but you would have to be very lucky.
That is the trouble - travel within Aust is so expensive by plane.
Why we drive to Perth.
If you want a King quail to have 2 wives, you need to introduce them at the same time. Sister wives work best if doing this - but sometimes 2 will pair up and attack the 3rd (the spare hen)

Omg that's so weird. I'll have to not do that then! Yeah. They're super rare animals. I love them though and really need to see them so badly!!!
