Can a peach-fronted conure live with a cockatiel?

Hey guys, so I have three cockatiels... They live loose in a room of their own plus a very large place in the garden, which is closed. I want to buy a peach fronted conure, but I don't have cages to separate them and I wanted to breed them together. As I have a space of more or less 100m², would it be a problem? thanks in advance

Please do not house cockatiels with conures. Cockatiels are extremely sensitive (and somewhat helpless compared to other parrots) and can even be bullied by budgies.

As for the breeding, conures and cockatiels cannot have offspring together. It is impossible, as they are from different genus's, and even attempting may result in the cockatiel’s injury or death.

Edit: if they truly have that much space 24/7, and the tiels can get away, it may work, however they should not be housed in the same cage EVER. Supervision would also be needed when first meeting.

Cockatiel dust can also cause respiratory infection and even death in conures.

Yeah, they really have all that space... I thought about seeing some aviaries with different birds together and all, but I'm just learning.
