Which pet to get? chinchilla or cockatiel?

Ok so I'm kind of torn....

A cockatiel-dont know correct term for colour but its a white/black pied I believe

Or....

A black chinchilla

I've done thorough research on both, I've also had cockatiels before and we presently have a chinchilla(my sisters)

I'm just torn and need help deciding as if I had my own way I'd have both but I can't.......

    If you already have a chinchilla then get a cockatiel

    If you get a chinchilla, then it has to be the same gender as your sister's. A male with a chinchilla in the house will be aggressive, and breeding is dangerous. You won't be able to have them playing together, anyway, or they'll kill each other.

    i might in my view choose the chinchilla via fact they're so cuddly and comfortable. as for a cockatiel they look truly great and friendly yet once you bypass away them they're going to alter into nippy and you may desire to clip they're nails and feathers. hazards for chinchillas are that they cover they're illnesses and you may desire to clip they're nails all the time and you may desire to purchase airborne dirt and dust for them.
