I wanted to get some input and thoughts on the following:

Would you put a Moluccan Cockatoo and a Major Mitchell in the same environment. I mean as in the same cage. I have a Major Mitchell, but my brother is wanting me to watch the Moluccan for him while he is away for 3 weeks. I guess too, it would depend on the individual birds themselves, but wanted to get some input from all of you.

Thanks,

I wouldn't put two parrots together no matter what they were.

If he has the M2, can't he just bring the cage over with the bird? I know it would be a large one, but is there a way to transport it?

I agree. The size difference between the two birds would likely mean that your Major Mitchell would get seriously hurt if not killed by the larger Moluccan.

You do not want to do this, Too's can be very bird agressive, it would takes week if not months of work with these guys to do this. For a three week stay, I would say no, don't risk it.

Oh YIKES! I would not do this! Shocked Chances are that one of them will not survive!
How old is your mm2? Do you have photos of him or her? I live with a mm2 too! Cool

yes I agree with everyone. Probably not a good idea to have the two together.

have you decided what you're going to do yet?
