Could a cockatiel pair live with 3 budgie pairs in a avairy?and How many times could a budgie have babies.....

The aviary would have to be HUGE so that both species have TONS of space to get away from each other. However, while it can work it usually doesn't, the budgies pick on the tiels and if the tiels get aggravated they can seriously harm the budgies. Larger than my aviary (1.8m high x 1.5m wide x 1.5m deep) i would think, i can't imagine 6 budgies and 2 tiels co-operating in a space that small. Also, you most definitely can not colony breed (putting several nest boxes in the aviary) with multiple species. This will undoubtedly cause fighting and even death. Even colony breeding with one species can have these problems.

A budgie can have about 2 clutches every breeding season and are of breeding age for about 2-3 years so that would be about 4-8 clutches in her life.
