Can a baby parakeet share a cage w/ 4 finches?
HI! Can a 2 1/2 mo. baby parakeet share a cage with 4 finches (2 cordon bleus and 2 star finches)? The finches live in a large cage 18x30x36. I just bought a white parakeet the store only had one and I fell in love w/ it. Now I feel a bit bad that its by itself in its own cage. (I know a bird needs to be in its own cage for a couple weeeks before putting it in w/other birds). I will probably go out and buy another solid parakeet once I find one but in the mean time until I do. I am curious to know if finches and parakeets can share a cage?
No. Not at all, not even for a minute. For starters, your parakeet will probably attack your finches. Second, they eat different foods and need different size perches. Third, your parakeet doesn’t ‘need’ a friend of any sort, birds are perfectly content living alone if you actually spend time with them like you should. Either way, don’t mix the birds. If you insist on getting another parakeet, so be it, but keep the species together.
