Our Aviaries :

Lady Gouldian Finch Canada is run by Ron Cloutier with loving care taken By Eli Djoleski .

It is a small operation consisting of 50 breeding pairs of finches, these comprise: lady gouldians, 3 types of parrot finches ( red throats, blue faced, and forbes), our consecutive 5+ year award winning java finches ( now wth a best in show and second best at Nationals, as well as chiyoda bengalese to name a few. This small breeding population allows us to get to know each bird and it's needs individually. They are not just a number or a dollar amount here but each is a close family friend, with an identity and lineage. We pride ourselves on our meticulous breeding and husbandry practices and once you've had a bird from us you'll see why we are sold out year after year, and why people come back repeatedly for more fids from us.
Our program is designed to allow gouldians to raise their own in safe/hygienic conditions.
Unlike other gouldian breeders we strongly believe in leaving the chicks in with the parents through to the next clutch which allows them to witness how to breed and strengthens parental instincts that many others do not allow their chicks to experience; removing them right after weaning and depriving them of this fundamental life lesson.

Meet The Breeder:  Ron Cloutier

Ron is a Darwinist, an animal activist and a strong believer in hygiene in the aviary. He has been breeding in Acton, Ontario for fifteen years and has won several Show Titles back to back in Southern Ontario for his Gouldians, Java Sparrows,  and Parrot Finches. Recently Ron received his secomf Best in Show title.  Ron's expertise in Division Four Finches has earned him a place in the Avicultural Advancement Council of Canada  National Judges Panel.
Ron believes in spending most of  his free time helping others in all their avian pursuits.

Ron's guiding philosophy is that only through proper management and consistent dialogue can we as avian enthusiasts do our part in ending ecological species devastation. Through these practices we should be able to create a superior captive genealogical base and preserve the remaining wild populations in their native habitats and have an endless choice of pets for many generations to come. Ecology begins with understanding.

Ron also runs a very in depth gouldian finch  help  group  on Yahoo with it's own exclusive health files..many wroy-tten by Ron over the years, as well as 3 lesser sites dealing, in the main, with the selling and buying of finches and canaries.  He also contributes a great deal of time to helping other gouldian groups on Yahoo.

Accomplishments:

Ron's biggest accomplishments are not the awards but his constant search to understand these wonderful creatures. He has successfully completed a course on Animal Sciences (diseases, emergency procedure, and hygiene) in record time, receiving a degree of Highest Honours (a 98% average) and he is currently working on an avian biology degree.  Ron has been an avian judge now for a few years and really enjoys sharing his expertise with others at the avian shows.

His Best in shows in 2009 and 2012 are his pinnacles of breeding excellence, but that does not mean more best in shows are not unattainable. As his knowledge and premium flocks grow the skies the limit.


Our Beliefs

Here at Lady Gouldian Finch Canada we have many beliefs but the one that is most important to us is that we believe that we have an obligation to other avian enthusiast to produce birds that are beneficial to the avian community. These birds must be healthy, well bred and easily maintained and they must also be able to produce others like themselves and to rear their progeny so that they, in turn, will know how to rear their own offspring. The biggest detriment to birds in the hobby is that they are labelled "hard to breed", "temper mental" and "soft" but nothing could be further from the truth. Once you try our birds you will discover this for yourselves.

When you buy our birds you are not only purchasing a companion but the piece of mind that comes from knowing you have the information to keep your companion at it's peak condition for years to come.
Once a bird/birds leaves this facility that is not usually the end, as we enjoy answering all your avian questions to ensure the bird(s)' optimal health and well being.




We hope you enjoy this site and our birds as much as we enjoy bringing them to you.
