A Gouldian finch can be free-flown after about a month of keeping. Chicks grow feathers from day 20 and leave the nest around 6 weeks; pearl spots at the beak corner fade as they become independent.

It molts at 8 to 10 weeks and finishes at 5 to 6 months, reaching sexual maturity before that, so breed only after the molt.
