Shoudl i put a hard-boiled egg when my cockatiels are breeding? DO they eat it and is it healthy for them? If I have to mash it, should I mash up the white, yolk and the shellll??

Adding hard boiled eggs to give a soft food for feeding your breeding cockateils is not only good to induce breeding but help when they have youngsters too.
Try adding some grated carrot, bean sprouts, crushed baby rusk and a drop of liquid calcium for a premium soft food mix.
Basically the more plentiful and nourishing your food the better you breeding results will be
Don't add cuttlefish bone as a calcium diet additive, the amount they get from it for the quantity the need to consume is negligible.It really is only good for a beak manicure

Excellent food for them! Mash up the whole boiled egg shell and all!

Rather put vegetables, they will not spoil as soon as the egg, and the eggi has a higher chance od carring bacteria than the fresh fruit/veges

Yes, the scrambled eggs are just what is needed, also you can save the egg shells and nuke them for one minute, crush them up fine and offer to your birds, Cuttle bone has been documented to splinter and harm the throat, I personally do not trust cuttle bone, we use mineral blocs here for calcium and beak condition.
Good Luck.

you dont have to but it makes the egg stronger(eggs have calicum)
yes you can put the whole egg in there and you dont need to mash it up(but you can it makes no difference) they will mash it them selves
