can they live together?

Post by Tish » Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:53 pm

Can 2 male gouldian's finches live with 6 society finches? I have a guy that is willing to sell me 2 gouldian's for a great price. Can they live next to budgies? A double flight cage with a divider in the middle. Last question, will my cage a single flight cage of 32 by 20 by 36, be to small for 6 societies and 2 gouldian's ? I feel that I'am pushing it with that many, but it's lady gouldian's. What should I do?
1 Cat ( Logan), 2 Rosy Bourkes (Pip & Kiki), 2 Guinea Pigs (Biscuit & Gizmo), 1 Syrian Hamster (Sammy), 1 Russian Dwarf Hamster (Peanut), 4 Gerbils ( Shiloh & Emma) & (Lilly & Rose)

Gouldians should tolerate society finches. They should also be okay next to budgies, though I highly recommend installing a solid devider so there is no risk of the budgies biting the finches' toes off. That cage size should be fine, especially if you give them some foliage to play around in.

They should be fine, both types are fairly passive.
