I just got Joey (my 2 year old 'Tiel) a HUGE new cage. The lady I adopted my Guinea Pigs from had it sitting out in her garage and didn't want it. It had perviously housed six 'Tiels, so it needed some cleaning up but it wasn't in bad shape at all. Amazing cage. I love it and so does Joey.
When I move out Joey is going to be staying with my mom. He likes her, hates me, and my mom loves him, so everyone is happy with the arangement.
What my mom has really always wanted, however, is a male Canary. I can't ever remember her not wanting one. Once our current pet population dwindles a bit (pocket pets are getting up in their years... ) I thought that a Canary would be a nice gift for her. She can finally have the pet she wants instead of me bringing home hamsters, Guinea pigs, and ferrets.
Now for my question.
Can a Cockatiel co-exist with a Canary in the same cage, if there is ample enough room? If so, how would you house them together? I'm thinking of food mainly (Joey eats Zupreem pellets along with a couple of Nutriberries per day), but also introductions.
Here is a picture of the cage. Plenty of space, IMO, but I know nothing. Cage bar spacing is at most a 1/2 inch - seems smaller. The demensions are 24"x37"x67" at its tallest point:
And two pictures of Joey for the heck of it:
