You can house Elegant,Scarlet Chested,Bourke,Blue Winged,Rock or Turquoisine Parakeets with Finches depending on your aviaries size.But Dont house Alexandrines with Finches

I knew a guy who put painted quail in his alexandrine aviary but never bred one even though they sat on eggs.One day he went out to feed the alexandrines and he noticed each one was happily munching away on just hatched quail. Craig

We used to have alexandrines with finches etc at work.... But we took the out for the above reasons. And that's in a 100m free flight aviary!!!

If you wanted to make things a little more interesting, perhaps add a pair of Diamond/Peaceful doves and/or King Quail?
