Can Parrots & Parakeets Live Together?
“Specifically in this segment we are going to talk about socializing with your birds and teaching them to get along with one another. I have a number of birds, a couple of dozen and they all do get along although I do have to be watchful that we don’t have any squabbles that they can’t handle themselves. In trying to have birds get along I am often asked can parakeets and larger birds be housed together or can they be kept together? The answer is yes and no. I have seen little budgies get along with Molakin cockatoos. I have seen smaller birds get along with birds much larger than they are. I have got a hawk head parrot who enjoys being with my red tails that are probably five or six times her size but as with everything you have to exercise some common sense. I have developed a program for my own birds to teach them to get along. Basically we have a spa day and I wet all the birds down and because they feel vulnerable during that period everybody pretty much minds their p’s and q’s. B
