Compatibility?

Is it possible to keep Gouldains, Shaft-tails, Societies and Star Finches together? I was thinking of doing this, but the Finch Niche website said Shafties and Societies will disrupt each others breeding and that Star Finches aren't compatible with any of the other finches, yet the Finch Info Site says that they are all passive species with the exception of the Shaft tail.

Does anyone have personal experience mixing any of these species?

I would personally never mix my shaftails with my gouldians unless I had an enormous aviary that was well planted, like Donna`s Monique`s and Poohbears.

I house some singles of all those together - no problem; but I don't think I'd do it while breeding.

I have all those species together, but they are in a huge walk in aviary. I have never had any problems with fighting.
