Question
is it safe to keep canaries and budgies together in a large outdoor aviary with lots of feeders and natural branches and small shrubs please.

Answer
Hi, Denise.

It depends on the individual birds involved.  Some birds get along well together and some don't.

Since these 2 species of birds have different dietary requirements, be sure to meet both needs within the aviary.  Be sure the branches and shrubs are safe for parrots (nontoxic).
