Diamond Doves and Cockatiels coexisting.

[Durban Crusader]

I need to determine compatibility of various bird types (specifically Diamond Doves and Cockatiels) in a large, single aviary. Aviary size: 2m (H) x 3.5m (W) x 3.5m (L). Can they coexist please?

Probably if there are not too many of each. I kept them in a room together.

Doesn’t doves carry a certain disease domesticated birds can pick up? Or isnthat pigeons?

Should be fine.

I'm not sure, but the doves OP is talking about is domesticated.

I also think it will work, as long as there is enough cover.

Thank you for all of the replies. Half of my aviary is covered, the other half is just a regular 1.6mm open weld-mesh. And although in this flight I have around 18 x Cockatiels, my thinking is that two ringneck doves or two diamond doves would not present a problem as they will not be “set up” for mating. Should the ratio of numbers present a problem, i’ll add another two doves to strengthen their numbers a little and keep an eye on them.

I think it's fine. But, if they start picking on each other, separate them. Mostly it depends on personality(sweet birds are prob. fine together), health(no health issues), and amount of birds (to much could lead to trouble)!
