Re: gouldians and goldbreasted waxbills
IMO you should be able to keep both species together without problems. Both Gouldians and Goldbreasts are very passive species that get along well with other finches. As with any grouping individual personalities can come into play, but in general it should be fine.

Re: gouldians and goldbreasted waxbills
I have had gouldians and OB waxbills in an outside aviary together with firefinches, emblemas and Red throated parrot finches. All seem to get on well and at the moment they are all either sitting on eggs or rearing babies. The only thing I have noticed, the RTPF cock can sometimes get a bit possessive about the seed hopper, nothing dramatic just some of the other birds move away when he arrives but others will stand up to him. Easily solved though, just put another hopper in the aviary, doesn't matter how fast he is he cant be in two places at once
