Ray P Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) They say you should never ever put a cockatiel and a parakeet in the same cage together. I had a male cockatiel named JB (JB was short for Just Bird) that could talk up a storm. We also had this male parakeet that would always spend time with JB when they were both out of there cage and his name was buddy. They were true friends in every way. Buddy had his own small cage but he would always go to JB`s cage and go inside and spend time with him. Well Buddy needed a new cage and we were going to get him one so we put Buddy into JB`s cage just as a temporary home until we bought him a new one. Well JB cage was very largs for a tiel cage 36Wx24Dx48H Well they got along so good that we never got a cage for Buddy JB talked all the time and one day we heard JB but it was in a little voice, Come to find out Buddy could say almost every word that JB could. They would sit next to each other and talk all day to each other Strange bed fellows and they lived with each other for many years. So much for what you can`t do Edited May 28, 2012 by Ray P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
