I have run into some new things this season, and one of them is that I have societies that are fostering goulds that lose interest in feeding the babies once...
I know goulds tossing babies is discussed a lot, but I cannot remember anyone finding a remedy for parents that toss babies. One breeder said using the larger...
I would be interested to hear any thoughts on this subject as well, as I have a pair of bengalese on eggs who sat fine and when the eggs began to hatch I...
My goulds not only toss their babies but also their eggs. I have not found a solution. I use the wooden nest boxes. ... __________________________________ ...
My goulds like many others tossed their chicks as soon as they hatched. This was when they were breeding in a cage. Once I built them an aviary (9 ft. long...
Hi Greg, Sorry to hear about your unfortunate circumstances. I have not yet experienced this problem, but one possibility comes to mind... Maybe the...

I agree with Ladd. I have my goulds in a 9ftX6ftX6ft and they are by no means over crowded. They have a lot of space and should have no reason to throw babies...
Huh. I don't think it's luck that mine don't toss, there must be another difference. Mine do better in a wooden nest box (doesn't have to have a porch)....

P.S. I also don't do nest checks. Primarily, the only time I check the nest is when little Gould heads are starting to peek out of the nest hole. Then I...
Thanks for your reply about your blues. I haven't given up hope (at least, not yet) on them producing chicks. They are sitting again, their 6th attempt....
What happens in your aviary when a baby dies. Do they just leave it in the nest? I feed homemade cornbread and homemade eggfood that my birds go nuts over. I...
Lisa, Can you post a pic of yours or send it to me privately!! I am curious as to what you are using. I bought the expensive $30.00 one and it is so...
That's what happens in my aviary. I use wooden 5x5x5 boxes with a porch, I always thought they needed a porch so that the parent sitting on the eggs didn't...

Sounds interesting. I think the size of the nest is more important that the construction material of the nest. My males usually get serious about adding...
