I have only one cockatiel and things have changed for him a little.
He used to have an open door all the time to come and go as he pleased now he spends more time in his cage.
We brought Addison home and the two of them got along great. We were just very careful for both of their sakes. We didn't want Feathers to get pounced on or bitten and also he could have done some damage to Addy if he bit her face or ears.
We started by keeping them out in the same room then slowly after a few days I would hold Addy and Feathers would be on my shoulder. Eventually they could care less about eachother, but still were never allowed to be alone together.
Feathers only likes to be away from his cage for about 10-15 min at a time so he heads abck or starts being naughty so we take him back. When he flaps his wings or starts to fly it gets Addy all freaked out and that can be dangerous.
Now that we have Brady too Feathers comes out even less, I just don't think he wants to be out as much. We put his cage on the floor and both the dogs sniff him and he sings. He is not afraid of them nor them of him, but when he flys around they get SUPER hyper.
My advise is to supervise intensly and make sure they get to spend a lot of time together while your dog is a pup. My Addy does better with Feathers than Brady. But somehow we all manage to live in harmony!
Good luck, sorry if this confused you at all. If you need anything you can PM me and I'll explain more!
I see you are in my hometown!
I miss the cities so much, all of my family is there. And the food, I miss that the most!
