hi there many birds will live happily together but will sometimes refuse to breed if housed together make sure you have more nest boxes than pairs to try and eliminate this and all species of neophemas will live happily with what you have described also cockatiels rule of thumb is to go by beak size stick to relatively the same beak size and usually no probs princess parrots will go in happily also here is our website to see what we do

Good day, I have 11 Cockateils and 12 Finches together in an aviery 1.5m x 1.5m. They are all happy little fellas. Would you believe the Finches hide under the Cockateils at night for warmth and protection. If I attempt to catch a Finch the Cockateils bombard me. There is a theory that hook beak birds (Cockateils) should never go together with straight beak birds (Finches). There is always an exception to everything. Chris
