Its a good question one should always ask before to see what
other bird people have maybe done with their birds.
When I got my 2nd TAG he came with an amazon and a big cage
they were both in. They had been together since the were
both babies and were 5 when I got them. I ended up
seperating them because they were starting to have male
HORMONES kick in and getting fisty with each other and I
didnt want either to get hurt. I have many types of pet
birds here CAGs and TAGs as well. What I do here in the
birdroom is have one huge perch with many branches they can
be out on where they cant get to each other...well they can
but you learn who to put out with whom at the same time
other wise they are free to go in and out of their own cages
and hang out on cage tops unless I leave the house.
Wings are clipped to keep some off of cages where they dont
belong as well.
All birds personalities arent the same just like people, you
just have to get a feel of how they are and watch them close.
In my bird room I have 2 green cheeks (one is a baby female
for my male), a senegal,a max pionus, a DYH amazon, a pair
of canaries and my baby cockatiels I am feeding plus my CAGs
and TAG and a YN amazon in other rooms but most get to come
play in here during the day.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do :0)
Birds are really lots of fun and remember you are "the
master of the house" that can make things work one way or
another.
