Will different species of parrot of similar size get along?
It really depends on the bird you choose. But be aware that many species to NOT get along. Cockatiels are very passive birds and will usually back down from a fight. But many birds are NOT passive and will actually pick a fight with another bird which could result in severe injury or death. Research your birds carefully if you must keep them together. Your best bet, however, would be to keep a second bird in a separate cage. You can then TRY the birds out together on NEUTRAL territory. But keep both eyes on them at all times. It only takes a second for serious harm to come.
