That many birds should get along fine as long as you have enough space for them. Four birds would need a very large flight cage or even an aviary to ensure they all have the right amount of space and room to move around. You will also need many perches, multiple food and water dishes, toys, etc, to keep them from fighting. As training and care are very in-depth questions outside the scope of a single answer here, I'm pointing you toward some helpful articles! https://www.petcoach.co/article/cockatiels-nymphicus-hollandicus-species-profile-coloration/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-care/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/selecting-perches-for-caged-birds-materials-measurement-mai/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-training-how-to-train-your-bird-to-step-up/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/cost-of-owning-a-bird-setup-supplies-and-veterinary-care/
