As Blake suggested it is better to get one at first so that he will bond with you. I have 2 tiels, but they were gotten about 6 months apart. We waited until the first one had bonded with us before getting another.

The only time you want to get 2 birds of the same species at the same time is if you are creating an aviary where all the birds will have a natural like habitat or you intend to breed.

Good luck on your search. Tiels make wonderful companions. They are cuddly, talkative and loyal.
