Are a male and a female Cockatiel okay in the same cage?

Really what the title says. I wanna know what sex combination of the birds to get. I know that females tend to be quiet, while males are chatty, that's why I want both.

I have a male and female that have lived together for over 2 years.
Not all birds will be compatible however, even if they are the opposite sex.
If you donā€™t want chicks itā€™s very important that you donā€™t give them anywhere to nest.
Iā€™ve seen people keep two males birds together as well but keeping two female together wouldnā€™t be a good idea.

Yup yup, knew the stuff about nesting, no huts, boxes or tight spaces. And thank you a bunch! Girls are more territorial right? So two of them would fight often huh? Will get a male and female pair as planned tho.

Yeah I imagine two females wouldnā€™t get along.
Females in many species tend to be territorial to one another.
My pair will bicker for a few seconds but theyā€™ve never hurt each other.
