I have 2 rescued birds a parakeet and lovebird who seem to get along really well and when i put them in a cage together they preen each other, would it be okay to have them in a cage together 24/7 ?

I had a sun conure and a cockatiel share a cage for many years. Just keep a good eye on them.

When I was a kid, I had parakeets and lovebirds in a 8' flight and they did fine until I added nest boxes.  The lovebirds turned into bullies.  Before that, they ignored the other species.  I would not recommend this, but past experiences are good for future decisions.

Like packratt63 said,  Just keep a good eye on them.

Absolutely, if you see ANY signs of aggression - split them up. Otherwise, you can wake up the next morning and one or more could be gone.

Some can be very cage-protective, and possesive about their surrounds -- (can you blame them)?
