Thought might have second attempt to breed gouldian last time was 3yrs ago had 2 pairs & never bred.. Noticed new pair have been going in out of 3 boxes that are available & male doing it's dance. Just now what nesting grass do I give for they have swampgrass & coconut matieral available .. I have seen in a lot off place normal dried strips off grass. Thank you

Swamp grass is good, just be careful with the coconut stuff its really strong and if a birds gets caught up in it You could cut it up in smaller pieces of course.

I like to use a few different grasses. Swamp ,thick bladed usually from my seeding grasses and thin fine grasses. Another material which I throw in is the husk of corn. When I give fresh corn on the cob I tear the husk into strips and have seen it in many nests as the outer layer.
