is ok to put two diffrent birds near each other?

[tyro2001]

hi, i have a lovebird and canarie(spelling sucks), my mom got a new cage where u can put 2 birds in and there is a divider to separte them. you do u think it will bother the birds if they are kept close to each other or i should keep them separated?
thanks

As long as the birds don't have actual access to each other they should be fine...IMO. If it's just regular cage bars you might want to reconsider as you don't want any toes bitten off.

I don't think I would do that if it were me. There is just to big of a chance that the poor Canary would get hurt. Lovebirds can be nippy and he probably would hurt the Canary unless it is fixed where they can not reach each other through the bars.

I agree with Krazy but lovebirds can often be agressive. Are the birds close to eachother now?
