can a cockatiel and lovebird be in the same cage together?

Question by carey646: can a cockatiel and lovebird be in the same cage together?

Best answer:

Answer by Grace
i would say absolutly not. Not unless they were raised together from babies. However, they will still fight, as most birds from different species do.

But for the safety of your birds, please, do not house them together.

Question by Ivan: Can 2 parakeets and 1 cockatiel live together in one cage?
Here’s the story. I bought everything needed for a Cockatiel, I went home and set it all up, I went back to buy the Cockatiel and there wasnt any more. So My mom said… “Just buy 2 parakeets until we come back next week for the cockatiel” i said no and we went home. My mom said she was going to go to the store to buy something. So she got back with 2 parakeets and i just thought to myself “KILLED IT”

Best way to introduce my two cockatiels together? What happens if they aren’t compatible?

Question by Virginia: Best way to introduce my two cockatiels together? What happens if they aren’t compatible?
A week or so ago I purchased a second cockatiel to be a friend for my first cockatiel. My first one is female and I have a strong feeling that the new one is female as well. Both are young, less than a year old, but the new one is a few months younger than my first one. Since I’ve now confirmed that neither is sick, their cages currently in the living room across the room from each other where they can still see each other and wolf call to one another. They wolf call to each other and are clearly curious about each others’ presence, but aren’t completely comfortable with each other at close quarters right now. What is the best way and time to get them accustomed to each other and then introducing them to one another outside the cage? And if it so happens where they aren’t compatible with one another to eventually go into the same cage, what happens then?

Best answer:

Answer by carol k
Birds are social animals and that’s why they stay together in flocks. They will be fine together eventually. Just put their cages close together and give them a chance to get to know each other. They will eventually stay in a cage together, or should. Just be on the lookout for pecking order and feather picking.

Can two similiar sized species be housed together?

Question by Angie: Can two similiar sized species be housed together?
To make my situation clear; first off, I own seven birds- five of which are cockatiels. After about a year of research, I have been looking to add a Senegal parrot to my flock for a long time; thing is, I couldnt find a breeder or one for adoption close to my area. I was searching online a couple weeks ago and came across a breeder/bird store an hour away that just weened two Senegal babies.

My situation; I have three occupied cages. One for my two parakeets, one large cage that currently houses my female tiel and her three two-month-old offspring, and a smaller tiel cage that houses my male, who was plucking the babies, thus why he is seperated. I also have another good sized cage at home that is empty, and a couple more in storage, so cage space isnt a problem.

All my birds have regular vet check ups and are healthy. Two of the tiel babies are being given to my friend, and Im keeping the last one. After the two go to their new home, I am placing the father back in with the female, and putting the baby in a cage by herself (dont know if it is a male/female yet, though referring to it as female). She has been caged with other birds all her life, she hasnt developed any territorial issues, and it doesnt look like she will, though I know it may be too early to tell. Besides individually handling my birds, I let them all out of their cages for at least two hours a day, and they all socialize with each other. They have no issues with other birds when meeting them for the first time.

The breeder/bird store; I read everything on the website, read the customer reviews on Facebook, and it sounds like a pretty reliable place. The Facebook profile is full of pics, and the store is roomy, has many cages and bird supplies, plus the many different birds they have are allowed to roam free and socialize with the other birds during store hours. They have avian specialists among their staff and also have a vet visit regularly. The Senegal I may purchase from them will have been socialized with many other types of birds ranging from cockatoos and macaws to parrotlets and parakeets. It will visit a vet within 48 hours of purchase, to confirm its health before I take it home and introduce it to the rest of the flock. It’s housed with its sibling at the moment. I believe the store has more cockatiels than any other species, so it would definately be used to having tiels around.

I know that was long, so thanks for reading. But I was wondering; is there a chance these two species could live together in the same cage, since both birds have been around many other species? Of course, I can house them seperately, but Im curious. I know they are about the same size, and can pretty much feed on the same diet. And yes, I know all about isolation when getting a new bird, and how they might bond to each other and not me and about all those other situations.

Answer by Betta Lover
It seems like you know quite a bit about birds, and you have a steady head on your shoulder regarding the possibility that the birds may not get along and could have to be separated. The problem I see, is that the Senegal Parrot is more the size of a Conure, not the size of a Parakeet or Cockatiel.

Senegal Parrot- 23 cm, 120 to 170 g
Parakeet- 18 cm, 30-40 g
Cockatiel-12-13 inches (mostly tail), 90g

So as you can see, the Senegal Parrot was significantly more! In fact, a Senegal Parrot weighs more then your average Conure. So no, I would not suggest housing the Senegal Parrot with another species, especially with the Senegal Parrot’s weight being so significantly heavier then the other birds you have. The Senegal Parrot, also has a quite larger beak that could do quite a bit more damage then say your Cockatiel’s. Since again, the Senegal’s beak is around the size of a Conure, if not larger.

Last but not least, your Cockatiels and Parakeets are much more submissive then an average Senegal Parrot. While the bird may have seen other Cockatiels, it does not mean the bird is friendly towards them at all. It would not be worth the risk, because if the Senegal Parrot did decide it didn’t like one of your other birds it would only take a moment for him or her to severely injure if not kill one of your other birds.

With the size difference, I would only introduce them in close contact (cages next to each other, sharing a treat, interacting outside the cage). Leaving them un-supervised at any point could have major consequences.

Can a Parrotlet and Cockateil live together? How can you tell a white Cockateil’s gender visually & Bald spot?

Question by petandkidmom: Can a Parrotlet and Cockateil live together? How can you tell a white Cockateil’s gender visually & Bald spot?
I have a female Celestial Parrotlet. She is tame, but a bit feisty. When I first got my other (large) birds, she was instigating fights, but now she lets them be. Recently she got 2 toes bitten off by one of them when she got out of her cage and landed on one of theirs. Not sure which as they were all kept together in one room. Now I would like to keep her separate when I leave home, but I wanted her to have a companion. I fell in love with the white Cockateil. I am hoping they can live together. I am aware they will probably need separate cages, but I think they will make good company for eachother as the Cockateil is a docile bird.

Also, I am wondering. How can you tell a white Cockateil’s gender visually? Also, do they all have a bald spot behind the crest? Thanks for your answers! Look forward to it!

Answer by gina
All male cockateals white common or chocolate have the same beautiful crest a female is plain.
