We have Finches & my grandma has a Love bird and a huge outdoor avairy.?
We want to put them in a cage together but we are not sure. The avairy is fairly big and my grandma doesn’t want to sell it at the markets and wants to give it to us.
We have 2 birdcages at home (excluding the aviary), one has a cockatiel, soon to be 2, and the other has 3 finches and we don’t know wether to put the finches and lovebird in the same cage.
PLEASE HELP US OUT!!!!!!!!
Do NOT put lovebirds in with any other bird! They are incredibly bird-aggressive and will kill other birds! They even sometimes kill eachother.
Don’t get me wrong- I adore lovebrids, and have a really great female myself. But it is NOT safe to house lovebrids with any other species.
Even putting tiels and finches together can be riskyy, depending on the size of the cage. Anything less then an aviary (four feet square, at least) would be dangerous ot house both tiels and finches together in. Tiels can still be fairly aggressive to smaller birds (expecially if you have a male/female pair) and your finches need ot be able to have enough space to get away. Any thing less then four feet square could well turn out to be a death-trap for your little birds.
My finches and lovebirds
