Can green cheek conures and cockatiels live together?
Do green cheek conures get along with cockatiels? The answer to that is, unfortunately, conures and cockatiels probably will not get along. That’s not to say it’s impossible, but the only way to know for sure is to introduce the two birds. With the possibility of catastrophic outcomes, it simply isn’t worth the risk.
Do green cheek conures need another bird?
The loud calls are very useful in the wild, since they can live in expansive areas. Two birds will vocalize even more, so if noise is already a concern, I wouldn’t add another bird – definitely not another conure. Birds can do fine with less attention as long as they have enough to stay occupied.
Are green cheek conures nippy?

Should conures be housed together?
Housed together, the conures can get to know each other. You have a better chance of bonding a pair of conures if they are unrelated and close to each other in age. Keep in mind that bonded conures may become very distressed, sick, and depressed if they are separated, so it is important to always keep them together.

If two conures are both relatively young (less than one year old) and have already been weaned, they can probably be placed together in a cage immediately. When the birds are raised together, they are more likely to think of each other as partners and companions.
Should I get two conures?
I never recommend getting a 2nd bird for the purpose of being a companion to the current pet bird. If you want a 2nd bird for yourself, this is fine, and maybe the two will get along. But if you get it just for your bird, and they don’t get along, you now have two jealous birds who both need attention.
