In my experience (which isn't that extensive) I can add to the no problems with inspections list: cut-throats, Java sparrows and societies.

Surprised about inspecting Cut Throats always kept away from them.
My theory on nest inspection,the domesticated ones no problem Bengalese Gouldian and Zebras.
If you have to continually check nests buy more cup shaped nesting species.
Isn't it nicer looking at a newly fledged clutch that you had no idea how many were in the nest.
Most times the antisipation is a killer though.

Add crimsons and double bars as well.I think in most cases it depends on the individual birds.And how you go about the nest inspections.
