Not love birds. We had an aveiary when I was young, it was divided into two sections. The Love birds would bite the parakeets toes nearly off when they climbed on the wire between the sections. Love birds tend to be very territorial so I try something else.
Cockatiels and Bourke parrots are good companions for budgies, but Bourkes are not very assertive and will likely not breed with budgies in the cage.
Other small parrots can also live with budgies, as can zebra finches. Quails can live in the bottom of the cage also.

Why do cockatiel birds sit with their back to you?
It means it's frightened. A cockatiel sitting with its back to you is not usually frightened, as a frightened bird is more likely to flap and cower in a corner, keeping its eyes on you, rather than turning its back to you, which would render it vulnerable to predation. If a cockatiel sits with its back to you, it can mean the bird is distressed or ill. It can also mean the bird is, quite simply, sulking. Cockatiels bond strongly to their owners, and if a new pet is introduced, or something unusual happens in the household, a cockatiel will sometimes react in a seemingly human way - by sulking.
Does a male cockatiel have an actual penis?
No. The only birds that have penises are some duck and goose species. Cockatiel reproductive organs are located inside the bird's body. If a male cockatiel has a fleshy lump near or in his cloaca, he may have a tumor. You should consult your avian veterinarian if you see anything unusual on your bird's body.
Can cockatiels sit on bluebird eggs and raise them?
Well, it depends on if the cockatiel is willing to raise the egg that is obviously not it's egg. If it is, then the bluebird chick will learn how to live life as a cockatiel. The bluebird will never have a crest, but it will learn the cockatiel's language as it's own and think it is a cockatiel because that is the type of bird it is living with. However, if you had a wild cockatiel and you set a bluebird egg in with the other eggs, the cockatiel would reject the eggs because they do not look right or smell right, and would drop the egg out of the nest. I hope that answered your question. :) - Emily Sage
