Tortoise and birds in the same enclosure

[Ymmjr]

Hi I was wondering if it’s okay to put birds and tortoises in the same enclosure the birds are ( zebra finches ,Java finch,and diamond dove) the tortoises are Greeks

Not generally...you don't want your tortoises to eat bird poop. It's a good rule not to do that...some of our experts may have a different opinion tho.
I keep parakeets...bigger poop than finches

In the wild tortoises and birds are not concentrated in a certain space, so the bird poop is negligible. Even so, I'll bet the odd tortoise may pick up the odd parasite from the bird poop on his dinner. I wouldn't do it.
