I would not recommend female budgies. Very aggressive in general. I have done it in aviaries (8 x 8 x 8 feet or larger), never cages.
Some males are compatible but others are not. Temperament varies greatly. Again, not recommend for an indoor setting, unless it's a whole room.

animalobsessed I have seen people have budgies together with finches but I’d be wary there is the saying no hockbills with finches but they might be okay depending on the size trying and get a very small pair and get a Male pair as Dylan said

Definitely not female budgies. Older English male budgies should be alright but you’d need to watch them for a few weeks just to be sure.
I imagine Zebs and societies should go fine together.

Flight Feathers I agree zebs and society’s will go fine if you have more society’s than zebs

What about 1-2 pairs of Zebs, 1 pair of societies and 1 pair of canaries? My Zebs are very peaceful with other birds. I don’t keep any aggressive Zebs.

Flight Feathers Ohright okay that’s fine then if you keep calm ones for some reason with me all my nice looking zebs are argresive lol
But yours should be fine then I just know that if you keep agressive ones outnumbered by society’s they usually go well

Okay thanks, that sounds good. There would also be a goldfinch in the mix but she was one of my first birds and never annoys the others. I’ve housed her with all kinds of birds for well over a year without any problems.
