I have a Lutino Cockatiel that was wild and I have tamed him ...........
Now I am planing to bring home a second Cockatiel that is a White Face Cockatiel which will be tamed ............
So I want to know that if I keep them both together will the wild one start hating me again and will the tamed one be more attached to the Lutino than me ................. .
I want them both to be tamed and come to me when ever I want them to come ..............
I cannot afford a second cage ...........
I will quarantine them for a month but will have to sell the other cage as I don't have that much space in my house and can only adjust to keep the other cage for a month ........... ..
So should I bring a second Cockatiel or no ??????????
Sometimes you might just want to stick with one. If your Lutino is just tamed, you might want to keep strengthening your bond. Just because you tamed one doesn't mean it's a great idea to go out and buy another one. Do you want to buy another because you want a friend for your tiel or another friend or you?

A second cage is recommended for bonding. That way the wild one can't see or even hear the other cockatiel, and becomes more dependent on its owner for attention.
If you think you can handle taming another bird while maintaining a good bond with your tame one, go ahead. Just make sure you handle them separately and give them an equal amount of attention.
On the other hand, you could just be happy with the one you have! Lutinos are beautiful birds. They are just fine living an owner and will love them like another cockatiel. And sometimes, one is easier than two.
Good luck!
I don't know if it happens to everyone, but I adopted and hand tamed a feisty female white face cockatiel. I bought a white face male, and when he was a year old I allowed them to mate and raise a very cute clutch of babies, which I sold. The female reverted to her wildness, and the male became very hard to handle.
This is just one person's experience, but it can happen.

No, the other cockatiel will become more attached to the one you have, they might still tolerate you not really hate you and they might let you hold them still but you will need to hold them a lot and give them a lot more attention if you want both to stay tame.
don't buy a second bird because the one you have right now will hate the other one. it has already happened to me twice
