Question
Can tiels and budgies be housed together or would they fight?

Answer
Hi,
Can they? I'd not say that's a definate no. Stranger things have happened. Meaning I've known it to happen. I do believe that's more the exception than the rule, though. It wouldn't be advised to keep them housed together. They could possibly be allowed 'out of cage' time together, under strict supervision, but I'd not house them together, no. Two 'tiels that don't know each other, or two budgies that don't know each other, placed together, can be a problem. Let alone two different species. One being significantly larger than the other, to boot. I'd not do it. My humble opinion. *smile*
Best regards,
Linnie :)
