It was extremely usual and I have owned parrots for many, many years.Īs far as your green cheek conure and lovebird, especially with them being so young, I would not put them in the same cage together. Most nights I would have them sleep in their own cages, but sometimes they would just want to stay in the same cage together overnight. Both of them would hang outside of their cages together, preen each other, cuddle, basically just do everything. He would not mind at all if the budgie would headbutt him (a common communication strategy in budgies) and tolerated it.

The green cheek conure I owned had a very passive personality, almost like what you see in a service dog. They were both older, and had been around each other for 5+ years. I'm absolutely not an expert at housing different parrot species together, but I once had a green cheek conure and a budgie as a bonded pair. r/grassparrots For all your Australian grass parrot needs Looking for bird necessities online?
