Question
I have lovebirds in my aviary and I am getting cockatiels. can they live togther?? Please help me !!

Answer
Hello Hannah and thank you for your post.
Lovebirds are aggressive and protective of their territory and they do not get along with any other bird.  A Lovebird will definately kill the cockatiels if you put them together.  They can not be near each other, within reach.  Lovebirds are known to chew toes off of other birds also.
The cockatiels will have to be housed seperately from the lovebirds.

Good luck and God Bless.
