I no nothing about barras...
I do know weconsidered them as a comunity and breeding opition many yrs ago and discarded as a suitable opition very quickly.
Why...I cannot rem.
Main options we consider...
Noise...volume and if pleasant enough.
Chewers....do we need steel or wooden frames and/or heavier mesh.
Diet...will our curent kakariki diet also suit them

If they meet those then
Suitable in community,
Avaory /flight size requirements

Very few get past the 1st 3.

There has been recently a lot of constructive descussion on mixed community flights and species...

If we lived on a smaller section or a rural enviroment, they would be very different
