Pete's Gouldians 

Welcome to My BigPond Website

My name is Peter Bradbury. I breed aviary bred, parent reared Gouldian Finches in NSW, Australia. I specialise in Pastel Greens or Sex-Linked Yellows. I also have the White Breasted mutation. I keep Black and Red headed birds. I breed them for quality. Colour, fertility, size etc.

I have decided to create this web site because I am concerned that the current Gouldian books in Australia give the impression that successfully keeping and breeding Gouldian Finches in Australian aviaries is a lot more complicated and expensive than it really is.

I am far from an expert and still learning all the time. I just thought that it would be nice for current and potential Gouldian breeders to have a web site to visit occasionally.

Links to any companies that I have mentioned on this site can be found in My Favourite Web Sites

You can see pictures of my Gouldians in My Photos and read about how I look after my birds in the History Page.

I will let you know every month what is happening in my aviaries starting with this month, September, 2007.

If there is another chapter that you would like me to write about in the History Page or if you would just like to ask me something, please feel free to email me.

I have dedicated this site to my great buddy, Ron Tristram (1945-2006).

I highly suggest that you read the following article at www.aussiefinchbreeder.com/finch_aviculture.htm.

I hope you enjoy the site.

Pete
