I never heard of that happening. I don't think it is possible. You are fortunate they like each other. My two birds are mortal enemies.

oh i didnt know they were from different continents
 i read that they were both a type of parakeet but i guess ill have to rely on better sources  so is it normal for them to get along like they are the conure kinda pushes the parakeet out of the way but they do sleep in the same hammock and even clean each other ill go do more research

I wouldn't say it's normal. In all honesty, they shouldn't be caged together because of the size difference. They may pretend they get along now, but that conure could easily kill that budgie. Especially once they start to mature. Maybe some time together out of cage watched closely, but I'd definitely have separate cages for them to live in. New birds should always be quarantined and gradually introduced to potential playmates.

BTW...
Parakeet basically means "hookbill with long tail feathers". There are parakeets from EVERYWHERE!

What kind of parakeet???? Is it a budgie? Or another type of conure? or?
Got pictures? Parakeet means any small parrot with a long tapering tail.
