Best way to introduce my two cockatiels together? What happens if they

[virginia]

aren't compatible? A week or so ago I purchased a second cockatiel to be a friend for my first cockatiel. My first one is female and I have a strong feeling that the new one is female as well. Both are young, less than a year old, but the new one is a few months younger than my first one. Since I've now confirmed that neither is sick, their cages currently in the living room across the room from each other where they can still see each other and wolf call to one another. They wolf call to each other and are clearly curious about each others' presence, but aren't completely comfortable with each other at close quarters right now. What is the best way and time to get them accustomed to each other and then introducing them to one another outside the cage? And if it so happens where they aren't compatible with one another to eventually go into the same cage, what happens then?

Birds are social animals and that's why they stay together in flocks. They will be fine together eventually. Just put their cages close together and give them a chance to get to know each other. They will eventually stay in a cage together, or should. Just be on the lookout for pecking order and feather picking.
