How do you get Cockatiels to mate????? Well, heh heh... it's kind of 
like this... you get two cockatiels (of obvious sex, of course) and put
them in a cage together with a breeding box attached. You introduce them
to each other.... Mr. Bird meet Mrs. Bird and visa versa,... if they lik
(that's like) each other, they'll do the rest. Once in a while, the two 
birds simply will want nothing to do with each other, but most of the 
time, they are more than happy to cooperate. 
 
When the babies are about 2 to 2 	1/2 weeks old (little fuzzy bald heade
things) you take them out and handfeed them. I love being a bird mommy. 
At about three weeks old.... they turn into these creatures that look 
like they ought to be a Jim Henson creation or something... REALLY ugly.
They look like a Dinosaur....
