Absolutely.
Parakeets like to bond and males will fight for females if there is not one for each. But in your case, there are more females than males, which means that eventually each male will bond with a female and the lone female will, I guess, be alone...
Female parakeets don't usually fight each other for male parakeets, unless a female that is alone tries to steel a male that has already bonded with another female,(not likely to happen).
It also depends if you are planning to breed the parakeets, if so then you might have a problem. The lone female might go inside nesting boxes and smash the eggs. This happens because a female will get(hard to believe) Jealous, to solve this you might want to consider getting a ale for her to bond with. If you do get another male, put the one female and the new male into a separate cage for about 3 weeks. This should be long enough for them to bond, after the 3 weeks put them back into the original cage and they should be fine. If they don't get along though and you don't want to return the parakeet, you can replace that male for one that has already bonded with a different female. If you keep the lone female and the replacement male together, he will eventually bond with her. And the new male that you put in the original cage will eventually bond with the female who had her mate taken away from her.

I have two male parakeets can I put them in the same cage?
Yes, Parakeets love to have company in their cage, two mail parakeets would be fine together.
How many male and female parakeets can you put in one cage?
It depends on the size of your cage, dear. If you have a cage big enough for two, than two. There are room sized bird aviaries with dozens of male/females birds inside of them, just be ready for them to breed. Good luck!
Do male parakeets chirp a lot?
Well, if parakeets are healthy and happy both male and female will chirp alot. That being said, male and female parakeets will often screech if they are not happy or if something like your music being played too loud or a cat is bothering them.
You thought your 2 parakeets were male and female but in 3 years there have been no eggs Why?

Can you put two male parakeets into a cage with two female parakeets?
Well, this is possible, if you want to have baby parakeets. If you do, keep thing in the same cage and install a nesting box. If you do not want to have babies, I sugest geeting a cage for each keet.
How do you tell male from female on parakeets?
By there noses. A males nose is blue. A female is pink or a light peach
Will male parakeets stop singing after paired with a female?
singing is a way of comunicating for parakeets and a way of showing comfort, the male is probably not used to see a female...give him time, he'll get confortable in 2 weeks latest.
Is this cage big enough for 2 parakeets 19H x 14L x 11W and should i get 2 girls in the same cage or 2 guys?
get a male and female and the cage size isn't right. get a 16 inchW x 18 inchL x 18inchH if you want your birds to be happy
Can a female parakeet nose turn blue?
I don't think so. I read that adult female parakeets noses are brown and that adult male parakeets noses are blue. But, young female parakeet's noses are "bluish" and a young male parakeet's nose is pink.
Is it OK to put two female parakeets in one cage?
Yes. A male and a female cockatiel would be best to share a cage. If you put two males or two females together, they may fight. You don't have to worry about a male and a female breeding if they are in the same cage. Cockatiels won't breed unless there is a nesting box attached to the cage.
