Parrotlets are not easy birds for all their small size and it's not easy to keep them happy (they tend to pluck when they are an only bird). I have to tell you that I disagree with Steve about keeping a pair of tiels and I am sure that Liz does too as she has a little flock and they all love her. I've never, ever seen a cockatiel fight with another one and I had a flock of 34 of them. They might bicker a bit during breeding season when they are very young and choosing their mates but they never actually fight and it's only one single season because, after they choose their mate, they stick with it for the rest of their lives. He is right in that a single bird will want your company more than a pair but I love birds and having a single little one is not something I would even consider because, to me, their happiness and health comes before my convenience or enjoyment.
