Could you put a lovebird with a parakeet in the same cage?

Answer 1

I absolutely would not recommend keeping finches and budgies together. You should keep birds of the same species or at least family together. Finches are much smaller than budgies, and cannot defend themselves should the budgie decide to attack. Budgies can take off a finch's foot or beak. The same goes for keeping budgies with birds bigger then them. Budgies can suffer a similar fate, with missing toes and beaks, from a bird only a little bigger than them, such as a cockatiel. It is not a good idea. I have experience both personally and professionally with birds.

I agree as well. If you want a community time aviary, you need to keep the same time of species or family together like she said . Just an example would be finches , canary , and a diamond dove. If you have questions about the species family look it up or just look at the beaks!! They all have similar beaks.

Answer 2

It depends on the personalities of the individual birds involved. A lovie could seriously injure/kill a parakeet (or vice versa for that matter). Some birds don't get along with each other, so you'd have to be leary of this and watch. They also eat different types of foods, so you'd have feed both varieties of foods in the same cage, have various sized perches to accommodate both species of birds, different types of toys to fit the different sized birds, etc. If the 2 birds get along with each other, then you should be able to keep them together in the same cage.
