Hello-
Do check to see if there are regulations where you live. Otherwise you can have as many as you can afford and physically keep up with.
Besides other pets, I personally own 1 lovebird, 4 parakeets, 1 Canary, 1 Bourke Grasskeet and 7 Society Finches. Almost all are rescues and I have worked out a way to give each a little more space than is required in captivity. There is no substitute for free flying though and I urge all bird owners to allow pet birds (with exception of finches) free flight outside cages. Taming and training help with this and make birds truly enjoyable pets!
If you breed birds-numbers can quickly rise. There have been many cases of people who hoarded birds. These people love them but can not keep up with them and end up abusing the very thing they love. Use common sense and let your ability to meet their needs (not to mention your wallet) rule in this instance. :)

1) Buy a good vacuum with a HEPA filter in it (about $200) and vacuum the room the birds are in every single day. 2) Buy a good HEPA air purifier (about $100) for the room the birds are in and run it 24/7. Make sure the air purifier is just a HEPA filter. You don't want an ionizer feature because there is evidence this is harmful to birds and maybe even people! 3) Change cage paper daily and wipe any obvious poop or messes in/on cage or on floor, etc, up on a daily basis. Ten minutes every day means that you don't have to spend an hour once per week after the mess has built up. 4) Offering the birds a bath several times per week can also help reduce the dust on them. Your cockatiels, like african greys and cockatoos, are the only hookbills with powder down feathers. These are special feathers that crumble into powder as the birds preen. this is where all the dust is coming from. I have a Grey so you can imagine the dander in my house. The above things have helped a lot.

I have two and will probably get a third one soon. It depends on how much space, time, and money you have since you need all three of these to properly care for birds (or any pet).

how ever many you can put up with
i would get so annoyed from the noise
you would need cages and then you can put an x amount of birds depending on the size of the cage and bird
well good luck

Depends on where you live. Some cities have regulations on pet owning.

None. Birds should be flying free-not caged or housed
