Newbie Question

Hello, very newbie question here LOL. What kind of birds if any, can be housed with Cockatiels. Could I have any other bird or parrot besides another cockatiel in a cage with mine?

Accually, tiels don't do very well with other birds. Budgies are too hyperactive, and all other birds are too big. One playful or angry nip and toes or legs are amputated. A person I know on another board just had her tiel's toes bitten through the cage bars by her lovebird. There are always exceptions, but I would NEVER risk it.

Mine love to watch the finches in the next cage, but you have to do a full 30-60 day quarantine before even allowing another bird in the same room with your existing one.

Princess parrots....they are the only birds i have heard that are ok to be housed with tiels. Even then it's best they have their own space.
