Question for those who know...... can you keep a parakeet in with Bourkes?

Bourkes are very docile, I'd be afraid the parakeet may agitate it.

I raise bourkes and grasskeets and had show English budgies at one time.... NO NEVER should a grasskeet be house with budgies. Bourkes are far to passive and calm and budgies can turn on a dime especially hens and become violent... I have seen them bloody a male's head just for looking in a nest box, destroy and or bloody young.

Keep the two species separate.
