Can Parakeets and Quaker Parrot live in same cage?

Hello
I am soon to be buying a young male parakeet.So sweet. While going there daily to bond I was introduced to a young Quaker Parrot
Was thinking about buying both.Would love to hear from knowledgable bird owners and if the cage was big enough would you suggest the 2 young birds to live together. I have 5 small children and we are very excited about our new addition ( Parakeet, "Blue") and maybe also a baby quaker...I appreciate any replies THANK YOU SO MUCH
DAWN Soon to be new bird owner.......

No, they should not be in the same cage. The quaker can easily kill the budgie, and the budgie will be such a little firecracker, that it will likely drive your quaker nuts. Quakers are also very territorial. Budgies can be very aggressive, and will often pick on larger birds, and since they're smaller, they're quicker, and can harass larger birds and get away.
Having both birds is fine -but keeping them in the same cage is definatly not. Regardless of what other members will tell you about their birds that lived in the same cage for years without problems -it only takes one time for the budgie to be dead. It could go on fine for years, and then one day, you lose your pet.

If you are serious about the quaker, please remember that they are very, very intense birds, and VERY loud. Please read this thread from a website I participate in, and then maybe ask some more questions there - http://www.tailfeathersnetwork.com/community/showthread.php?t=14462

Having a pet bird certainly provides a great deal of enjoyment in our daily lives. Listening to them chirp and sing is a lot of fun for those who love birds. Along with having a pet bird comes the need in having a good quality bird cage.

While you will find all types of bird cages made from everything from plastic to bamboo, the most important aspect will always be having the right size of cage for your pet bird. Here are some tips to help in selecting the best bird cage.

1. Where will you keep the bird cage?

Knowing where you will be keeping the cage in your home will help in knowing how big it should be. You shouldn't keep it in direct sunlight throughout the day or right next to an ac/heating vent.

2. What size is your bird?

Knowing where your bird cage will be in your home will let you know how big it can be. Now you can select a pet bird. Parakeets, finches and canary's can all be housed in smaller bird cages without concern over space.

Larger birds such as parrots will require much larger cages to have the extra room they need to move around.

Why is size so important? Birds do not like to be in small, restricted spaces. They become unhappy when they can not at least be able to spread their wings out and walk around. No different than how you would feel being cooped up.

3. Buy a good quality bird cage

Instead of cheap plastic, buy a good steel or wooden bird cage. Keep in mind that steel is much easier to maintain than wood, but both can provide durability and life.

Add some toys in the cage to let your bird play and have fun. Don't forget perches and food trays.

Keep these tips in mind when purchasing your bird cage and you both will be very happy with the results.
