A cockatoo's beak is a power weapon and tool, it WILL kill a
conure or even a cockatoo with only one bite. I wouldnt allow
them to be by eachother. Yes its cute and your watching them,
but by the time he attacks and kills, its too late..

Birds feeding eachother is a type of bonding either to help the
hen because fertile to breed, and to just bond with eachother.
But letting the smaller brids play on your toos cage is a BIG
nono
