Hello.....
My daughter purchased her first bird, a cockatiel a couple of months ago. He is about 6 months old now and an absolute sweetheart. Very friendly and very social! I am seriously considering getting a cockatiel of my own but housing it with hers as we just purchased a beautiful large cage for him so there's plenty of room. I've been getting mixed responses from people at the bird store, vet techs etc. as to whether it would be ok to introduce a young cockatiel to our current young cockatiel and was hoping for some more insight. I've had people tell me they have several cockatiels housed together and they are still friendly and social yet I've had others say that if I introduce another one than my daughter's will not be as friendly/social. I would love another one but do not want to do anything that would affect the personality of her bird and I really don't want 2 cages...I'm limited on space.
