3 pairs will be OK. Less chance of aggression or stress for the birds if the numbers of birds are low BUT if this for display only you could have a couple of extras. Put in 4 or 5 nest boxes, if you intend to try breeding the Gouldians, as only the nesting birds will use them.
Life in Port Macquarie is the ultimate Aussie sea change lifestyle.
