Hi All,
I have a pair of Plum Head Parrots in a suspended cage can I put Gouldians in with them.

Hooked Beak birds do not mix with Finches in my opinion.

It depends on the individual birds. When the plum heads are moulting or breeding they may get grumpy enough to chase a finch around.

Aggression from the parrots isn't your biggest concern, though. In an enclosed space, flight paths are bound to intersect at some point. I don't see a Gouldian walking away from a collision with a bird 30x bigger than it.

Never thought of the collision side of things thanks.

You could build a cage within a cage like Shane has done.
