Can a bird and a rodent become friends?

I have a cockatiel and a few hamsters, and i was wondering if i could introduce the 2, the cockatiel puts her wings up when she's on their cage, but is that just her being tough, or is she saying come near me and i'll kill you
what do you think
Answers:
Depends on your birds temperament. I personally would NOT introduce them. I had a Cockatiel with a MEAN attitude and I had no idea that a bite from such a small bird could hurt so much! But if you do introduce them, be careful that your hamsters eyes don't get ripped out! They're very delicate creatures and it probably wouldn't be in your hamsters or birds best interest. Good luck!
i wouldn't try it.
i wouldn't try it.Birds have claws that could hurt your hamsters.
depends on their personality
NOOOOO!!!!!!!!...
Maybe you could trim the nails of the Cockatiel and closely supervise their interaction.
yes
well it really depends on you
how old is the bird and how old are the hasmsters
I have several birds 6 dogs and 4 cats and rats/mice/ducks
the cats sleep with the birds that are inside
the dogs have never hurt any of my other animals and the dogs/cats/rats/mice/ferrets never hurt our ducks or budgies
Put them both in a small-ish cage
put them up against each other and just keep a close eye on them
do this 3-4 times a week
once the bird settles down and the hamsters arnt as intrested in the bird open the cage door and let one hamster in with the bird if anything goes wrong attempt to get the hamster or the bird out. and try again with putting the cages up against each other
i suggest doing this in side =]
