thought my gouldians had decided to stop breeding for this year but after a couple of days in the mid to high 30's a fortnight ago followed by a couple of rainy days they started nesting again. have one pair with 8 eggs and another with 5, there are 3 other nests that I cant get anywhere near to peek cos the cordon's are nesting close to them
