Does anyone have experience with tame budgies and tame parrots (eg. cockatiels) living inside together (but in separate cages)?

 

My 6 budgies are out of their cage when we're home and have free reign of the living area. I was wondering how they'd go with other tame parrots who'd also be out of their cage at the same time and in the same space. I've heard budgies can be bullies, so mixing parrot species indoors might not be a good idea.

i have had

cocky

conoure and budgies out at once and a teail

the cocky and conure chased eachother for my atention

the budgie just hide

the teail sat on its area

so i put cocky and conure back

then teail would sit with me but when budgie came out from hiding chassed it around

 

in end i put all birds outside bar my conure

 

i had a alexandra parrot and a budgie who use to live together their choice

it started i would let them out together

both indoor cages

the alixandra had a two meter tall by 90 by 90 cage in lounge

the budgie was young 6 weeks

the budgie would go up to the bigparrot itwould intern try eat it

the budgie was persistent and tryedto re enter cage all time

after a month the parrot let the budgiein and the budgie sat onhis own side

after few weeks budgie tryed to sneek closer to parrot butparrot tryed to eat him every time

budgie kept trying

one day budgie sneeks over when parrots asleep and started preening its belly

parrot waked up and snapped at budgie

budge does this few times over week parrot ended up giving in and they started preening each other and became best mattes

i never had to watch them alone to gether again and both birds eneded up with full run of lounge

so its not impossable but doesnt always work

parrot didnt like any other budgies ever

when his mate passed on

Thanks GB, I guess then it really depends on the personality of the parrots.

 

It must have been quite a cute sight to see your alexandra parrot preening the budgie given their size (and beak) difference!

very cute it was cuter the budgie snuggling in to him

it was very scary letting them form a friendship very i would sit ready to pounce on the parrot if he was to turn

I imagine it must have been quite scary, given the amount of damage that beak could do to such a small bird. But it is lovely to see different animals who you wouldn't normally see together getting on and being great friends.
