I'd imagine they be fine as long as no females are around

Gouldians are not as territorial as other finches. Males will get along just fine.
good luck

When my gouldians are molting for the year, i always separate them into same sex flights and they have never quarreled or became aggressive. So it think you'll be just fine with them together in the same cage.

I keep my all males together in flights when not breeding, same with my hens. No fighting at all.

Your Gouldian boys will not fight (even if you add females).

Gouldi's are sweet and peace loving creatures, and get along very well in a group be it males or females or a mixed group. I am sure there are some psycho ones out there somewhere, but I have yet to see one.

Your boys, will sit close to one another and have singing contests, with one listening very politely with rapt attention while the other one sings :- :- :-

Enjoy your boys, you're going to love them.
