I understand that keeping new world birds around old works birds can kill birds like macaws and conures but what about keeping a cockateil around budgies and a ringneck.
I thought by "keeping around" OP meant near different cages/aviaries but maybe I misunderstood. Budgies are powder-down birds but not as much as cockatiels. As I mentioned in the previous post - budgies produce so small amount of powder so it's not really dangerous to other birds (I don't include fighting etc)You can never be sure whether your birds will get along. It is a case-by-case thing (although certainly there are types of birds, like macaws, that should never be housed with powder-down birds). Even 2 budgies could fight to the death, so there is always risk. You should make sure you have enough time to devote to them individually (outside of the cage/ time for separate interaction) in the event that they do not get along and have to come out one at a time.
Cockatiels are powder-down birds--- budgies and ringnecks are not, so the dander of a budgie is much less.
