Gouldians generally breed from January/February to September/October, give or take 1 month. So probably 8-9 months of the year with a rest over summer for the moult. You should probably restrict your pairs to have a maximum of 3 clutches. Each clutch can have 6 to 8 good eggs but on average it's generally 4 or 5 good eggs. So maybe factor in 10 to 12 young per pair per season, taking into account some losses.
