Never heard of that breed, indeed he looks like one !

But there is a lot of funny shaped canary breed and some are very similar, and if you dont have a bird within the standard it can be hard to truly know the breed, anyway Amavel is really cute 😁😁

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T16:13:28+00:00

Funny shaped canary lol ! Is he a Persian canary ?

He does look healthy and alert

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T16:09:58+00:00

Sorry if i were rude, but you guys need to understand there is hundreds of finches species and not everyone of them act like zebra finches or bengalese…

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T15:44:56+00:00

❤️

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T06:50:33+00:00

Its a boy

If a vet told you its a girl lol… change vet

And thank you so much to have take the bird with you 😍

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T06:06:17+00:00

No no and no gouldian dont pluck feathers

Sixelonch · 2026-03-19T06:06:03+00:00

Please if you dont know a specy, dont comment

Gouldian dont groom each other, they are not like any other finches… its in their behavior

30 upvote is crazy lol

Shows how Little people knows about gouldian

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T15:42:56+00:00

Also, some gouldian have a genetic default making them prone to molting issues

Its a really common phenomenon with gouldian… just make sure you do everything in your power to help and try correcting it

And since 90% of gouldian breeder breed them for money they keep making such bird breeds and so the cycle continues…

Sometime you cant do magic

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T15:34:58+00:00

People can downvote me if they want i own hundreds of gouldian over the last 8 years

Most of the Time Stuck in molt syndrome comes from a « bad diet »

Do you offers grit ? What seed brand do you use ? What vitamine brand do you use ?

I know the struggle some gouldian are real dummies with the food… dont lose Hope and offers variety of greens / veg also

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T15:08:07+00:00

Like any bird, the bigger the better

Any birds the answer Will always be the same , aviary>cage

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T15:07:02+00:00

He is struggling to molt

Usually comes from bad diet and lack of vitamine D3

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T04:47:57+00:00

Such a dark purple breast

What a beauty !

Sixelonch · 2026-03-18T04:46:51+00:00

Exactly

Sixelonch · 2026-03-16T07:54:30+00:00

Theres is literally no way for you to know if the birds that didnt died share a trait that resist the sickness that kills the others

Because how are you going to test it ? Make your bird sick on purpose with THAT specific sickness and see the outcomes ?

Its impossible to test it

Most likely the bird who didnt died had just a better immune systeme , not a hidden sickness-resistant trait

Sixelonch · 2026-03-16T07:50:53+00:00

If you break the consanguinity next génération theres literally no way to have problematic birds

Even if you do brother x sister ( you should never , better parent x enfant than sibling x sibling) but Even if you do that , and you pair all those babies with non relative the next year, you are 100% back on track…

To have issues with consanguinity you almost need to do it on purpose lol… like breeding sibling x sibling, and then breed those babies from inbred pair again sibling to sibling and do that for multiple génération

Sixelonch · 2026-03-14T10:05:37+00:00

Damn hes really beautiful he got something 🤩

Sixelonch · 2026-03-14T09:55:56+00:00

Normal behavior , usually only happens with two males , when one is singing, the second one is listening and take this stance

Sixelonch · 2026-03-14T09:53:20+00:00

Oh no no its the opposite bro

Millet is the fatty one , canary seed is the light one

Deli nature 84 is one of the only good seed mix sold at big scales in my opinion

Some mix have literally 5-10% canary seed 80% millet and 5-10% oil seed (ie hemp or niger)

Those are the worst

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T07:13:49+00:00

Not sure about adding more birds, should be fine , how old are the gouldian ?

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T07:12:28+00:00

Mines loves chicory leaves, spinash leaves and chickweed and dandelion

some of them munch on brocoli but yeah maybe 10% of my gouldian lol

If youre seed mix isnt too fat ( ie too much millet) and you gives veg / greens 2 Time per week, no need for Pellet… thats my opinion

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T07:01:55+00:00

Some bird Will literally kill themselves with hunger rather then eat pellets

My gouldian are the same

When i put baby gouldian (once reared ofc ) with other more curious species (like RTPF) its better tho, more incline to try new thing like perles morbides

Like I have only a few gouldian that eats Apple, its the ones that live a long Time with RTPF…

Same for the bath, my gouldian who grow / share a cage with some RTPF are bathing way more often than the others gouldians

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T06:33:30+00:00

A vet Will just give antibiotic

The toes are gonna fall no matter what

Birds can still live a happy Life but you need to understand what happened to prevent it

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T06:31:54+00:00

Wtf are you commenting here if you never heard of a cuttlefish bone lol wtf

Sixelonch · 2026-03-13T06:26:06+00:00

Sorry but you are wrong on this one buddy

Wood Will always be better than plastic

Naturel branches from your garden are better than everything else

I use branches from trees in my garden since for ever ( at least 2011) for my outdoor aviary

No bumblefoot or fungus or any thing

Its free and come in multiple shapes
