Hill Mynah and Sun Conure in the same cage?

Postby joephone » Fri Jun 24, 2016 8:00 pm

Hi,

I already have a Sun Conure (5 month old) and I want to get a Hill Mynah. Can I put them in the same cage? Can they live together peacefully?

Thanks,

Never.Parrots shouldn't be housed with non Parrots even some Parrot species shouldn't be housed together.

No, they can not be housed together in the same cage safely. In the case of a mynah and a Sun Conure, especially with a young one the mynah will kill the conure.

While it can be difficult to get parrots to accept any other parrot even of their own species, this is definitely not even worth considering with a mynah as they will not tolerate any bird of another species at all.

And even if they get along just fine, you still cannot house them together because they require completely different diets.
