Thank you. :) They certainly live indoors, Gouldians are fond of thaw, not cold-resistant.
Blues are difficult to breed not only in SA,but also in China.And it's not easy to find a pair of blues which are strong, healthy and good fertility.
If you want your blues have better fertility,pair them with green-backed or yellow-backed ,then let their children pair up,and you will get stronger blues.

Blue gouldians cost more than 100$ in China, not cheap,and I know it should be more expensive at other countries.It is hard to grow,and new blood is important for breeding them.

sen-yu-tang good blue gouldian's also sell for the equivalent of $100 and up here in SA as well. If I ever do start with them, I will probably get split's and build up my own lines from there. Definitely the safest option to start with.

Your birds are really beautiful and I wish you lots of success with them!
