 I have two pairs Bubble and Squeak, Squeak was with another male first of all and they got on fine both would sort of come to me, but as Pip died I got Squeak a Hen (Bubbles) as a cage mate they will both step up but they have to be on their own to do this.They are always together cuddling preening or bickering they would rather be together than with me.
The pair of Lutinos I have are very much the same both will step up but only when they are by themselves, but they really do not like being parted and will shout non stop until they are put back together.

If you got two young ones together handreared they should be very easy to look after and train, although you might find like Jan has that one of them will be more feisty than the other. I do think they are suited to being in pairs if there are no other birds in the house, my first Parrotlet I had (Jake) he was by himself but I also have budgies, and he got on quite well with them, especially my yellow budgie they would often preen and sit by one another.

But they have to kept an eye on if you are letting them out with other birds as they can hurt them with their big beaks, as Frank one of my male budgies found out this week. He was on the top of the Parrotlets cage showing off to sky when Squeak bit his toe from underneath.
