Can a lovebird and finch live together in same cage?

Lovebirds and finches cannot live together in the same cage. Both species have different temperaments, dietary needs, and behaviors. Lovebirds are known for their energetic and playful nature, while finches prefer a calmer environment. In addition, the dietary needs of these two species differ and may cause nutritional imbalances if their foods are mixed.

There is even potential of bullying when a bird is more territorial like the lovebird. While there may be occasional peaceful interactions between an individual lovebird and an individual finch, cohabitation in the same cage is not an ideal or recommended set up, as lovebirds will often bully, injure, or even kill a smaller bird confined in a shared space such as finches.
