Facts About Breeding Cockatiels

• Cockatiels prefer to breed during the late spring
  and early summer period although they will breed
  at any time of the year if they think that the
  conditions are favorable. Cockatiels usually lay
  4-8 eggs, which hatch 21 days after incubation
  begins. Cockatiels need a 12 inch cube box with
  a front hole in the front in order to breed. I
  usually use peat and wood shavings as a base for
  the cockatiels. Breeding them is not very
  difficult and any beginner can easily manage to
  breed a pair of cockatiels.

  a cage out of animal fence ½ inch square about 6
  foot high and 3 foot round put some rods in there
