As long as you don't mix any other neophema species with the
splendids you will have no troubles, like turquosines,
elegants, bluewings, etc...of course it also depends on the
size of the aviary, I'm guessing quite large with the
collection you have right now, some other aggressive species
to be aware of in a community aviary are the rosellas, and
some species of psephotus
like bluebonnets, if any agrresion does show up I'm guessing
it will be with the bourkes and splendids, but if your aviary
is large enough I'm sure there will be no problems.
