here's where I keep my birds , besides my breeding cage. All of my gouldian are parent raised, never encountered any problem breeding them. (can't upload my aviary pictures it says file is to big)

The best advice I can give you is that give them proper nutrition and bountiful food during breeding period.
Best combination that will give you high mutation . Pick a bright yellow body, red headed ,white breasted color cock (double yellow factor) pair with split/blue not visible green body, black headed lilac breasted female. you'll produce white , pastel & yellow
Next is Dilute male grey head, green dilute body, purple breasted pair with blue female it will give you lots of silver & blue & yellow.

for beginners I advice you to buy minimum of 6 pairs juveniles from different breeders to prevent in breeding and start from there. i'll post more tips and advice cause right now I'm working during the day , Thanks

Beautiful birds.
I love the light colours. I would love to breed whites (silvers), but at present I don't have the right mutations for those colours.
