Question
is there anyway i can house a sun conure and a cockatiel together if they have large cage? like about 50" x 38" x 40"? and they won't be in the cage much except for at night and if i'm working, which i only have a part time job (im only 17)

Answer
Hello Kristen and thank you for your post.
although I have seen it done, I do not recommend housing a conure and a cockatiel together, no matter how big the cage is.  It is just too dangerous because conures do tend to get very aggressive and could hurt your cockatiel, or worse.

I hope this answered your question.

Good luck and God Bless.
