In spite of their small size, Parrotlets can be aggressive with other birds and for that matter dogs and cats as well. I would be nervous that they would end up fighting. But that's just my opinion!

Budgeries four off I live in a mess of my own making !!! My name is I'll give you a clue	hi markcorbri, and welcome :) as Gail said i wouldn't put them in the same cage as the chances are the parrotlet will hurt the budgie as they are much more aggressive and cage territorial than a budgie. I keep both myself and they are allowed out together but i really do have to keep an eye on the way the parrotlets are treating the budgies kev :)
