Random bird question: How does your medium/large bird feel about little birds (finches)?

It's a pretty self-explanatory question. How do your small (or large) parrots feel about finches? Just wondering because our Green Cheek Conure at my work LOOOOOVES finches. Usually our conures just ignore them or shoot them dirty looks, but Chico absolutely adores them. It's strange. Does anyone else have a conure or parrot who actually likes small birds?

Update:

Well, yeah, I'm not mixing them. He just likes to hang on the outside of the finch cages and chatters like crazy and bobs his head at them. Sometimes he just sits quietly near the nests and silently watches the canaries and society finches taking care of their eggs. He climbed in the cage once but I told him, "You can't go in there; you'll scare the 'babies'," (what I call the small birds to him) and he hasn't tried to since then.

    It depends on the bird. Most large birds actually don't like small birds like finches and just get annoyed. Some friendly birds will be fine with the smaller birds and actually will try to play with them. Sometimes the finches will get annoyed though, so....

    Well, I would advise you not to mix small and large birds, simply because one is bigger than the other and might end up hurting the smaller one.
