Dove and Budgie together

[soblessed]

I just bought juvenile budgies. I believe I have one girl and one boy. I have a 3 year old rescue dove that I would like to introduce to the budgies for companionship. Has anyone tried this? Any recommendations?

i only have budgies, but i would say, first let them see eachother through wire, then maybe after a while et them together in a big enclosure, keep an eye on them, dont leave them alone together. then go from there, if they seem to be nice to eachother then maybe leave them together a little longer.

Not speaking from experience though, don't take my word for it

They are totally different types of birds. It'd be like introducing quail to chickens.

Nothing says you can't try it, though, by putting their cages beside each other, as they might both be entertained by the other.

I've had a rescue dove, currently have two parakeets, and while I might let them see each other, I would never put one or the other in each other's cages. I also have two macaw parrots in a totally different room. They will never see each other.
