Lovebirds (and cockatiels) help please!

Hi there, any advice will be appreciated.

I already have 2 cockatiels, kensei and luna, who live together in a cage, they are super tame and very cuddley birds, they get lots of attention and time out of the cage and are basically spoilt little birdies!

Now, i have been thinking about getting a lovebird for sometime, and me and my boyfriend saw a pair the other day and he fell in love with them, so now we both would love to get one, but its not a decision we would ever make hastily, so im doing my research first, and i thought this would be the best place to start - people with real experience with these birds! haha

Now could anyone give me any sort of advice (anything at all) of having both lovebirds and cockatiels, i do not plan to house them in the same cage, but i would like to be able to get them out all together (i know it may be a slow intergration, but i have time and patients for that) Do these 2 bird species mix well with supervision? What could the possible problems could there be?
Could anyone gives me some like, pro's and cons for this. I have heard Lovebirds can be noisey - but with kensei and luna we are very much used to noise! and mess!

Also if anyone can tell me anything at all about what its like having lovebirds - just anything at all that would be good/nice to know before getting one, or anything i would need to know. Or anything special i would need know about their dietry requirements, kensei and luna already get loads of variety - fresh fruit/vegs/seeds/pellets ect...but do lovebirds need anything different?

Sorry for the long post - thanks for your time reading - absolutley any comments on this would be highly appreciated!
