Budgie and parrots

Question
I have a female budgie and have recently been given 2 male parrots one is a Monk parrot and the other is a Senegal the Monk parrot is about 8 months old.  My question is can l put them in together?


Answer
Dear Rose,
thank you for your question.
I wouldn't house them together. They all have different body  and "spoken" language and may not understand a warning from another bird. It's okay to let them meet outside the cage, but you should be present all the time. Parrots and parakeets are happiest with a companion of their own species.
I hope I was of some help to you
