Chozochild asked:
he/she is territorial about its snuggle hut but otherwise is a good bird, the dimensions of the cage are NOT big enough for another one of her kind, something smaller. plz help.
i have a M01 vision cage with 3 perches and 1 med. sized snuggle hut.

While birds have been known to share cages with other species of birds it really isn’t a good idea, especially in such a small cage and with two birds who have never met. Also birds of vastly different sizes should NOT be put together so you would be looking at quaker sized pals anyway.
Birds can still be friends in nearby cages so if you really want another bird, buy a separate cage for the other one or a cage big enough for both birds (and even then you may need to have them in separate cages if they don’t get along.)

Nothing.
Quakers are notorious for being cage aggressive, even with their beloved people and other Quakers.
You MIGHT be able to introduce another Quaker (You’ll have to start in a separate cage, and hope they eventually can get along to the point they can share a large cage which if your current cage isn’t big enough you will need a new one), but there’s no guarantee that your current burd will accept a new bird, regardless of species, size, or gender.
Anything smaller is going to end up being beat up/injured or possibly killed.
