I know a guy who put a pair of parrotlet's in his aviary, 6x2.4m, with a nesting pair of scarlet neophema's. As soon as he released them into the aviary the parrotlets flew straight up to the scarlet nest box. They both jumped inside the box attacked the hen and killed the 4 chicks, not a pleasant sight, inside the box. By the time he caught the parrotlet's the hen scarlet was scalped and bleeding wounds on the legs and wings. The cockbird scarlet faired not much better.
