Hi all,
Was just thinking about maybe joining the darkside and getting a pair of splendid parrots or bourkes, does anyone keep these with finches. I've got a pair of longtails and a pair of painted in a 1.5 by 1.5 aviary. Anyone have any advice
Thanks
David

My 8yo son has single pair of Scarlets with single pair of Zebra Finches in aviaries 900x3000x2400 (My holding aviaries) & both species breed well together.

I think putting them into a 1.5 square aviary with 2pr finches would be pushing the friendship.

Neophemas do quite well with finches as they tend to be quiet and gentle. I agree with Tiaris however, the aviary size is not enough for your combination.
