Gouldians

Will gouldians nest before they are fully mature/not finished the final moult ? I bought some young birds a while back and they have almost fully coloured up, but I was in the aviary doing some house work yesterday and a couple seemed to be building a nest in a cane nest basket. One was very vocal and the other was just following him around so I am guessing the vocal one is the cock bird ? As I said bit hard to tell yet as they are not full coloured.
Trouble is I have a pair of cockateils in there and they keep pulling the nests apart, they have destroyed 3 zeb nests so far, eggs and all, just started it in the last few weeks, so I have to get them out. I will have to put them in a small cage until I build them their own aviary. Should just let em go with the wild ones and tell the missus they got out when I was cleaning the cage, lol.
