Lady gouldian finch : I found one in my backyard and is doing well but wonder if has any special needs.?

Answer 1

Not really - a good quality finch mix, millet spray, and a source of calcium in the form of either a mineral block, cuttlebone, or soluble grit mixture is good.

They also do well with sprouted seed, egg food, and fresh fruit and vegetables - though sometimes they can be picky eaters if they've only been exposed to a seed diet.

Answer 2

There'd be too much for me to list, so I typed up a few websites:
