No, it is not safe. Cockatoos can hurt smaller birds very easily. Budgies often have "big bird" attitudes and will bother other species. The cockatoo can hurt or kill the smaller bird when it reacts to the smaller bird annoying it. The cockatoo isn't being mean or bad, it just doesn't understand why it is wrong to react to the smaller bird in an aggressive way. Even if they are bred in captivity and hand-fed/hand-reared, cockatoos are not genetically distinct from their wild ancestors. They will still act like wild animals. You can obedience-train a dog not to bother a cat, but it's not worth the risk to try to train a cockatoo to leave a budgie alone. Keep them in separate cages and never let them play together.

That depends the size of your cage, and are your birds' wings clipped. If your cage is small, chances are that weaker canary gets attacked by sharp-beaked budgie. That might be fatal to canary. Also if birds' wings are clipped, there's no way canary can fly away when budgie is approaching.

Birds have different personality types, and it is hard to say what effect such a mix might have on canaries which, for the most part, are easily stressed. Try it, by all means, but be prepared to move the canaries out to a quieter area. They also have different nutritional needs, so be sure to supply the types of seed that both species of birds need.

No. Chickens and budgies have very different needs, do not eat the same foods

Birds including budgies do not get 'pregnant' they lay eggs, incubate the eggs which then hatch into chicks.I saw my budgies mate together Dec. 26, 2010. I separated them to another cage, away from my other 3 budgies. I put in their cage 2 nesting boxes. Every day I checked for eggs. Today, Jan. 24, 2011, I found 2 eggs in the corner of their cage, on the floor of the cage. They did not like the nesting boxes I provided. That is about a month gestation.
