Well, this question really depends on how large your cage is. If you have a very, very large cage, maybe you should fit about five at the MOST. You don't want to overcrowd them. This leads to fighting, and even in the worst case-death. In a medium/large cage, you should put two, at the most.

Does a cockatiel need pairs?
Cockatiels do not need anything to have a mate. Just put him/her in the cage with your cockatiel, however, if you want them to mate, they will not mate if you do not have a nesting box. In order to breed cockatiels, you will need a nesting box.
Can cockatiels be white?
Answer: Sure, they can. When cockatiels are white, they are either of the Lutino breed, or they are albino.
Can you have other cockatiels in the same cage as a breeding pair of cockateils?
You can, but it really depends on the personality of the breeding pair. Sometimes, the breeding pair will be so territorial that they will not breed with other cockatiels in close proximity, and will toss the eggs out of the nesting box. Others have no problems at all, and several pairs of cockatiels will be breeding at the same time. It is important to make sure the aviary is large enough to accommodate more birds, and that each of the breeding pairs has sufficianet privacy, for example, placing nesting boxes at opposite ends of the cage.

Is it bad to feed cockatiels in their cage?
No it's fine to feed cockatiels in their cage. I feed mine in their cage as they will not eat out of my hand.
