Hi everyone I'm planning on keeping a very small mixed collection this year, atm I have some yellow stars which i love, but I do plan on keeping some other species... not necessarily with them , as I may sell them to make room.... but I would love to hear if any one has experience keeping nuns with gouldians? I have kept gouldians for many years, but only alone, with other gouldians, zebras or neophemas..... any chance of hybridization.....or violence/aggression..... besides the odd rogue bird.... thankyou guys 👍

they are fine

just make sure there are plenty of boxes as the nuns use boxes or brush.

I run mine as 5 pr gouldians and 3 pr tricolor nuns. so far it's all ok.

When I had them sharing with Bengos the only problem - if you can call it that - was that my Bengos - would feed the Gouldian chicks. I did treat them annually with Ivormec and had not health issues doing this.
