Any suggestions as to if its possible or not?? I would be very cautious about letting a Hahns and a cockatiel interact - cockatiels are the bottom of the pile in the parrot world while Hahns can have an attitud eproblem at times - it is very likely that your Hahns would want to make sure the cockatiel knew who was boss - and a Hahns has a much bigger and stronger beak, quite apart from weighing 3 or 4 times as much! Hahns are however entertaining birds, playful and can be good talkers, but do have a very loud rather high pitched screech when they want to - be sure to start out on the right path from the beginning and ensure that it doesn't become a screamer - get the books and DVD's by Barbara Heidenreich for good behavioural advice - www.birdkeeper.com.au/bird-behaviour-products sells them - a couple of books and several DVD's. cheers, Mike |

Hey mike,
I thought as much but always best to ask..maybe ill just keep them in seperate cages for I dont want Rumple (our cockatiel) to get hurt...
I boughta few books already and have looked into the hahns for few years now.. what birds would theg be more likely to be ok with? As in another 6 months to a year we will be looking at a third possibly...
