Hi!

Are these all housed together? Have you checked the Finchinfo in the link on the left?

I don't think that cutthroats, parsons and diamond firetails are recommended to be kept with the others you have listed. All the rest should be fine. Lucky you!!! :lol: :lol:

Several of those species will crossbreed. Depending on how large of an aviary and how well it is planted/ territorial screened depends on how well the mix will get along.

You will love the scarlets I have 4 (but I'm going to sell the 2 young). They are so sweet and really beautiful. They are sensitive to dampness and cold weather though. Good luck!
