compatability question

[jluna]

hi everyone,

i'm considering housing 3 pairs of longtails with a pair of cubans in a planted aviary measuring 3.6m L x 2m H x 1.2m W. although i've kept both species seperately and am very familiar with their personalities, i've never kept them together. any thoughts? if you think it's a 'no', what species would you replace the cubans with? the only other inhabitants will be king quail.

cheers,

justin

They should be OK together, what colour beak?
I have heard the theory that people have lots of pairs of cubans in an aviary to deflect specific -bird violence. apparently also works on Crimson Finches
Both being rather aggressive species should be ok

yellow-beaked. i heard something about cubans not liking birds with black feathering? but could be mistaken. i think longtails are big enough to look after themselves, anyways.

should be ok, they are more aggressive to birds with yellow in their plume
