Do you think I should get two so their not lonely? I do plan on giving them lots of attention though, and I dont work so I will be home with them. If I end up getting to do you think it is better to get two males or to females? and should they be in the same cage or seperate?

So far I have had my male cockatiel (I'm pretty sure he's a male) for nine months and have not seen any hint of aggression. If your worried about that, have your cockatiels wings clipped so then they are more dependant on you and can't fly away or feel like they are the boss, etc.

If you get two they might bond with each other instead of you, but that is just what I've heard. You might want to talk to PCB or Logan, since they both have two tiels.

For night frights- Keep your birds cage covered really well. I keep Buttons' cage in my room so that if he does have a night frights I can be right there to uncover the cage and make sure he is ok. He has only had 3 since I got him, and two where my fault. (I was trying to find my way out of my room at 4 in the morning )

Also, I'm pretty sure Buttons' is a male, he is very, very vocal. But unlike some males, he is extrememly cuddly and would rather fall asleep on your shoulder or have head scratches then anything else!

Good luck finding a cockatile!
