I would love my lovebirds to interact with my semi tame budgie. If it is not possible then dont worry.

Love Birds are not the freindiest of birds and I would not try and mix them with other species. They should be kept in a species specific enviroment. At night time they will try to find strangers in the dark and attack them by biting their feet off as they sleep on the perch.

You do NOT want to put the budgie in with the Lovebirds. They WILL kill it as lovebirds are very territorial and do not like other birds. The reason that they are called Lovebirds is because they choose their mates for life, and they will be very aggressive towards any other animal that they deem an interference.
Make sure to keep the budgie in a seperate cage, and do not let them out together. Also, do not let the budgie land on the Lovebirds' cage. The lovebirds will attack the budgie's feet and do serious damage.

I have about 100 budgies in an aviary.
When I got two lovebirds that I re-homed some of the budgies attacked them because they were "invading" their territory, but after 2 weeks they are fine.
The budgies don't attack the lovebirds anymore and even when they did they did not do damage as the lovebirds just flew away.
One female budgie was preening one of the female lovebird the other day!
So all you have to do is put them in together, if they have a fight take your budgie out of the cage then the next day try again and so on until they are ok about it.

Only thing to do would be to put the two cages side by side but don't expect too much, the lovebirds will be more concerned about each other to make friends with the budgie.

I wouldn't put them together in or out of a cage. The lovebirds are a lot stronger (and meaner) than your budgie, and if they decided to attack the budgie, he could be seriously injured or killed.
It's got nothing to do with how tame any of the birds are. It's not about how they get along with YOU.

They are two different species. Don't expect them to be attracted to each other sexually. They will, however, enjoy watching each other for the sake of pure entertainment.

i don't think it's possible...We had to get rid of our love birds as they kept attacking the other birds in the avairy..AS beautiful as they look they can be very agressive towards other kinds of birds...Good luck!
