Green cheek compatibility

Question
Can a green cheek conure be compatible with a double yellow headed amazon? Can they be in the same cage without fighting or bullying?

Answer
Hi Hugh!

Thank you for asking my advice!

Though it is possible I would not recommend it.
Two birds of different species should never be housed together.  It is possible that they may become friends and interact very well together during out of cage play time but they will need their personal space.
You should always quarantine for a minimum of 30 days (60 is best) to prevent illness, as well a well bird vet visit is advised for any new arrival!

Sincerely
Danielle
