My pyrrhuras (green cheeks ;)) are a bit smaller than my tiel, but still loooove to pick on her every now and then. They are known to be almost fearless, and they really live up to that. Archer and Kira will bite my cats if they get to close to their cage. It's kinda funny to see cats scared of 10" birds.

I would still not house my tiel with my GCs. They kick her off the perches, making her stay on the bottom grate. :?
