Could someone please advise on how long the Jacarini cock will tolerate his fledglings being in the same aviary

I leave the young birds with their parents until seasons end. I guess because they are hard to catch in a planted
aviary.
I have noticed in my big aviary coloured cockbirds chase young from another pair that have strayed into it's territory
but there are too many pairs together which was my mistake.

Aviary size would come into it. In smaller aviaries they may bear watching for trouble. I found in conventional aviaries jacarinis would harass fledglings of other species which frequented the ground (Ruddies, Painteds, Melbas, etc.) & these fledglings were often missing tail feathers due to Jacarinis.
