Nope. I would personally never do it. Budgies can get nasty and inflict some real damage.

yeah, probably not a good idea unless you have something really huge.

Only if you like your finches legless. :( Budgies tend to chew on everything including finches legs. Remember years ago when my mother had more quail than avairies with small wire, put a pair in with the budgies, fine till they hatched chicks. The budgies killed everyone, playing with them. :cry:

ah, but then the zebs would probably build on TOP of the budgies.

i'm sure that keeping them with birds like orange breasts, cordons, less 'bold' species, would not be a good idea.
