If I get a flight cage big enough, can I mix 2 female parakeets & 3 male Zebra finches??
I am thinking of approx. 4 feet, by 2 feet, buy 3-4 feet?

I put them together once in what I though was a large cage & the finches beat up on the keets!

NO. They are both territorial species. Zebra finches can't even be kept with other finches. They're very aggressive.
Parakeets are also territorial and can be very aggressive.
If you mix them, somebody is doing to die.

I wouldnt reccommend it ...even tho I did have a budgie in with my zebra finches and they got along just fine...the budgie was a stray that we didnt have a spare cage for and neither the finches or the budgie attacked each other

Finches are better suited to be caged with Canaries. Parakeets are parrots, eat different seed, and would be better suited on their own.

no no no parakeets are actually territorial birds they will gang up on other birds and beat them up not a good combination.

No! One if them will lose an eye! These birds should be housed separatly.
