you could just buy both as they can live in the same cage.
It does depend on how much time and effort you wish to put in to these. Both birs can be trained t "talk" and as many people do no realise they all have a personality. Consider space in your home, time you can spend with them, if you want them to free fly out of cage at some point each day, cost of food, cage toys etc and others in the house i.e. children. other pets and if these are all compatable . In addition there is a cost of the bird and selection.
A budgie's life expectancy is around 5-8 years, so if your budgie is 10 years old in human years, it is considered very old for a budgie in bird years. It would be roughly equivalent to being in their 70s or 80s in human age.
The "cockatiel" is a small member of the parrot family, somewhat larger than the familiar budgie.
It's according to what type of bird and where you are located. Some birds are not allowed to be purchased unless you have a certain license. I would say that anyone who would want to purchase a bird that is in the United States would have to be about the age of fourteen for a smaller bird like a cockatiel, budgie, finch, love bird, etc. Eighteen is about the age when you should be able to purchase a bird about the size of a conure or larger.
Well, a parrot is a big bird and a budgie is small, it would be better if you got a smaller bird to go in the same cage.. you never know what the parrot will do to the budgie so you dont want to take the risk of your budgie getting hurt.. I have a budgie and i was thinking about getting a bigger bird but who ever i have asked had said choose a smaller bird or have the 2 birds in different cages.. Im not sure how big a princess parrot is best of luck to you!
for a pet bird, i would probably say that it would be a cockatiel or a parakeet
a budgie
budgie i suppose

You can buy a cockatiel bird at pet stores, bird specialty shops, or from breeders. Make sure to do your research and choose a reputable seller to ensure the bird's health and well-being.
No. A budgerigar (budgie) or parakeet is a bird, not a mammal.
It varies from bird to bird but after a year the bird should have reached maturity.
It means it's frightened. A cockatiel sitting with its back to you is not usually frightened, as a frightened bird is more likely to flap and cower in a corner, keeping its eyes on you, rather than turning its back to you, which would render it vulnerable to predation. If a cockatiel sits with its back to you, it can mean the bird is distressed or ill. It can also mean the bird is, quite simply, sulking. Cockatiels bond strongly to their owners, and if a new pet is introduced, or something unusual happens in the household, a cockatiel will sometimes react in a seemingly human way - by sulking.
