Can a budgie live with a canary?

Lots of space is the key if you want to keep Canaries and Budgies together. Budgies and other parrots tend to peck at other birds’ legs, and can snap a Canary leg like a twig. If cohabiting, the Canaries will need their own dedicated space in the aviary.

What birds can be kept with canaries?

Bengalese finches, Zebra finches and canaries can be housed in a cage or in an aviary. House them in pairs in a cage, which is large enough to allow your bird to stretch its wings and fly from perch to perch. Finches and canaries can also be kept in flocks in aviaries and will mix well together.

What birds can share a cage with budgies?

The most likely to get along with your parakeet is the equally sociable zebra finch, who hails from Australia, as budgerigars, a type of parakeet, do. Other finches that can live harmoniously with parakeets include the nutmeg mannikin, the java sparrow, the double-barred finch and the cordon-bleu.

Can you put canaries and parakeets in the same cage?

Canaries can be kept quite happily as single birds. The key to keeping two or more birds in one cage is to buy them together, and choose birds that are sitting together non-aggressively. Parakeets can be particularly aggressive toward other birds, so don’t plan to house parakeets and canaries in the same cage.

Are budgies and canaries the same?

Should canaries be kept in pairs?

They will each need their own cage with separate food bowls, water dishes, and perches. Canaries should have at least two perches at either end of their cage.
