Most other types of smaller parakeets are find with quails, I have kakariki's, a rosella and 2 quaker parrots in with my quials and they all get along fine.
If you are planning to put nest boxes in then it is very important to stick to one species otherwise they will fight to the death in most cases. In fact I would only recommend one breeding pair of birds to an aviary if you are planning on breeding depending on the size of your avairy, unless you are planning to get canaries or finches?
Good luck

i never knew this, my grandad always kept them together when i was young. must have just been a more well behaved bunch.
glad to know this as i was thinking about getting a few quails when i moved the budgies to an outdoor avairy.
