Agree with TJ: they'll be no problem.
Great choice. One of my favourites.

When they look like building a nest, give them heaps of white feathers. They love them.
They often use a white feather as a 'door' in the entrance to their nest.
They'll breed happily without livefood.

Sorry I can't offer you any: I have just moved the last of my winter extras.

Agreed, will also live happily with Blue faced parrot finches and Fire finches.
