Probably don't do any harm . .

But I think that your time spent in making them could be better spent in other areas

Agree with Arthur. Probably best to use the time & materials to make nest boxes. Gouldians just aren't that aggressive/territorial.

Gouldians just aren't that aggressive/territorial.
I don't think my young redheaded cock would agree with you right now, as his dad (orange head) is making very sure he keeps away from Mum and the new nest.
But as long as the avairy is spacious enough, 3.6 x 1.2 in this case, they can find their own space without too much fuss. So I have not bothered.
