Some people like 'em, some don't. Some birds like 'em, some don't. I use the parakeet size wooden nest boxes for my Gouldians.
Whatever works for you and your birds is fine.

I use the plastic finch nest (link below) for my gouldians. They seem to like it and raised successful clutches in them. Not sure if I will get in trouble for the link but hope that helps!

Which nest box are you using? The top one with a hole or the bottom one?
I love Gouldian Finches.
