I have had smaller birds come out with bigger birds in the same clutch. I would think not inbreeding. But pick your biggest birds to breed with, specially the Hen.
Breeding Show Zebra Finches, Blue Gouldians, Pied Orange Breast.

No, bigger isn't always better & everyone is welcome to select to whichever features they find desirable. I personally like bigger sized Gouldians with full but tapered body type. I find small pencil-shaped birds very unattractive by comparison.

I alway go first and formost for a robust action, then nice bright colouring. Bother if they are big or small.

Nobody uses 5 metre show cages anymore
Is that a budgie or a chicken?
