Can IRN and a cockatiel get along?

[rms0706]

I have a 3 month old ringneck "pickles" and a cockatiel that i have no idea how old "rio" is. I put them on the same perch and then "pickles" eyes were dilating back and forth then he started nipping at "rio". Will this stop if I keep placing them near each other(supervised of course)?

I think they should probably have their own places to sit. If they choose to come together of their own accord all well and good.. but I wouldn't try to force them to sit together as this could potentially be very frightening for your cockatiel.
