Other than that it is best if you were to have the same breed together. The most important thing is their personality though and you wouldn't know that unless you gave one a try. I do not agree with Melanie M. I managed an exotic bird farm for many yrs. and we had birds together many many times. Otherwise how would you put a pair together to breed? It shouldn't be that difficult though. Your cage is good size. You might want to try a love bird. They are about the same size.<br><b>References : </b><br> Keep in mind that some birds will not be as tame with you if they have another bird in the cage with them.

As far as I know, the only other bird that can share a cage with them is another cockatiel. Parakeets are a little too small to go in with them, and I don't think you could put a conure in the same cage. To make the transition easier, if you have a male, try to get a female. You'll probably end up with eggs, but two males will more than likely fight all the time. If you have a female, I think you can put another female with it. I would double check at your local pet store just to be sure. Your cage sounds plenty big enough to accomadate two birds, so that should not be an issue. I would also ask about the best way to introduce a new bird, because I'm not sure about the best way to do that. Cockatiels make awesome pets! They are quite the entertainers.<br><b>References : </b><br>Worked at a pet store for three years/cockatiel owner I also have a cockatiel.

You have a good cage, but tiels often fight and female + female = fighting. I suggest you just keep your's. tiels will probably bond with a ''cage-mate'' and have trouble bonding with you.<br><b>References : </b><br> Not a lot of breeders reccomend a tiel in a cage with another type of bird other than a tiel.

It will pose problems with who's territory it is. We have two bird and we keep their cages next to each other but one will not allow the other in their cage. We have done this with 4 birds now and they all react the same way. The only time you can have more than one bird in the same cage is if they were raised together.<br><b>References : </b><br> You really should not mix birds in the same cage.

]]> Comment on Can different types of birds communicate with eachother? Or is it only exclusive to each species? by Cal King http://www.best-4-birds.com/types-of-bird/can-different-types-of-birds-communicate-with-eachother-or-is-it-only-exclusive-to-each-species/comment-page-1/#comment-3397 Cal King Fri, 16 Apr 2010 16:12:59 +0000 http://www.best-4-birds.com/types-of-bird/can-different-types-of-birds-communicate-with-eachother-or-is-it-only-exclusive-to-each-species#comment-3397 Birds communicate in different ways. Many have alarm calls that warn other birds of danger. When birds are angry they often peck on something with their bills, which is a lot like what some humans do when they are angry: pound the table. Of course, when a bird wants to make another bird unwelcome, it will mob the bird by flying at it directly and attacking it with its feet. These are all means of communication.<br><b>References : </b><br> Birds communicate in different ways. Many have alarm calls that warn other birds of danger.

Birdwatchers take advantage of this sometimes, and make a scolding noise (pishing) that sometimes causes birds to come in to see what the trouble is. Other closely related birds that use similar habitats will defend their territories against each other through song and other behavior. I've watched a flycatcher chase off several kinds of birds when they got too close to her nest. Other birds that are predatory, will sometimes be mobbed by smaller birds. The smaller birds are quite able to tell the bigger birds to get lost.<br><b>References : </b><br>Mobbing behavior: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobbing_behavior Pishing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pish Many birds have a universal warning call-usually a scolding noise, that many other birds understand.
