depends on your birds, but I would have to say it's too risky
Normally I would not cage a conure and a lovebird together.Conures in general can seriously hurt other birds, the same size or smaller.
If a conure and a lovebird were raised together, there would be a better chance of them getting along,,,but there are no guarantees, and there is no guarantee they will get along once introduced, as they are new to each other.
I have many tame birds here, lovebirds, conures, cockatiels, senegal. some get along, some don't, all have separate cages, except for my 6 cockatiels which are housed in the same flight cage.

I would air on the side of caution, and see how it goes. Another conure would be better suited for yours, but a lovebird is a good choice as well. all my lovebirds and conures get along very very well, but again, are caged separately.

When I got my lovebird he had made fast friends with a sun conure at the bird store and during out of cage time would follow him around and preen his head. However, when I bright him home, MY sun conure only wanted to kill him.
I'd say its highly unlikely and even if they like each other they should still be kept on separate cages to be safe.
