I wonder if she's about to lay or just waiting for the right time to lay? Sometimes it can take a while for them to not only mate but lay the eggs. They'll jump into the nest box a few times and may not do anything for weeks. Then suddenly POOF! They get in the right mood and eggs appear. This has happened to me several times. Cockatiels make a lot of noise when mating, so it'll be hard to miss ^.^ .
The other option, which has already been stated, is 'are they both males'? Some colors are hard to tell males from females and it could be that you have two of the same sex. Mind you, both bird will try to mate and form a same sex pair bond. My budgies have done that. So much for breeding them **rolls eyes**.

Male should have gone in first... and sang, and convinced her it was a good place to start a family... then mating... then nesting from her. It can take a week after mating before an egg is laid, and an egg can be laid with out mating.. oh yea.. and some males just NEVER get the "aim" right, and therefore, they never father a clutch.
Had too add... some females never crouch right for a male so that he CAN get good aim.
And season, and temperature, and humidity play a factor in their pro creation too
Good Luck

She is getting ready to lay the male plays a big role in this he also sets own the eggs..And when they hatch he will help feed them....But sometimes you have to remove the mail after the baby's start getting because the male gets mean towards it if it is a male Mine did and the male starting pulling the baby's feathers out so I had to separate them.....Good luck My birds name was pretty bird and he sang the Beverly Hillbilly's song ......He was a very smart bird....

Yeah I have the same comment on the lines of the breeder who just posted. Are you sure they are male and female? I have two males, and one of them will try to mate with the other one. Silly bird!

decrease the quantity of image voltaic exposure. if her cage is in a sunny spot thats in all risk why, image voltaic triggers their cycle. enable her shop the eggs for some days, then take them away. in the recommend time supply her some complicated boiled egg with shell so her protein/calcium stages stay unsleeping by way of fact they get very depleted for the time of the egg laying technique.

have you seen them mate? if not, dont expect much. take them to a vet to see if they know how to set the mood so they will mate.

They have to mate before she lays and egg
