aviary residents

Do you folks that have or are planning an aviary have more than one species of bird? Do you put them in the aviary together? Any signs of aggression? Any particular resident seem to get picked on? Before I put one up I was wondering if they can all be in there at the same time? Or do they have to have outdoor time "species specific"....
Thanks.
Cheryl

I only have two parrots. The G2 and the Sennie. We plan on putting up a small aviary once we get our deck built. They will both go in there together. They can be out on a playstand together usually without issues. Of course they would be supervised when out there.

Do yours have out of cage time together at all?

Hi Jen,
Yes, they do have out of cage time together.. but they generally interact on a very limited basis... The greys get along fine... and the Eclectus is ok with them for short periods of time... Winter doesn't seem to tolerate anyone in his space or near him on a perch or play stand unless he just had a bath... When he's soaking wet, he's pretty mild.... I guess maybe if they have enough personal space around them it might be ok... They do all know each other. Let me know how your guys do.... Thanks !
