I have a pair of BH/PB/GB in a cage 800wx550Hx500D and they have been fine. However the past few days they have been showing aggression towards each other.
Any suggestions as to why this would be happening?

Maybe he wants her? As they are starting to pr up now,I would imagine there would be not to much room to get away from him?

I hope this is the case Gomer. What time of the year do they start to breed?
Because there isn't much room in the cage would I be able to get away with giving them a cane basket for a nest or should try attach a gouldian style nest box on the outside?

have found the cane baskets to be a bit small for gouldians. the wooden nest box would be my preference
