hi, i have a pair of cocaktiels. They are set right beside the cage of the other breeding pair. I just got this pair so i dont know if they are bonded. I saw them preening each other and i also saw them inside the nest box together. Today the hen layed the first egg. When ever the male comes close to the nest,she attacks him now I havent seen them mating before. But about 8 days ago, i heard the chirping noises comming from the cage, i rushed to see what happen. As soon as i got there,they stoped chirping. They both were inside the nest when the noise was coming. Do cockatiel mate in the nest sometimes? I dont spend a lot of time with them, so i dont know if they are mated. I am worried because the female is a little aggresive. SOme times(before) i saw the female attacking the male inside the nest(i guess she was kicking him out). Is this normal?

The first thing you need to do is take the nestbox out. The next thing you need to do is take your birds to the vet. The vet can tell you how to properly care for your birds. After you take some time to get to know your birds and make sure they're healthy, you can go back to your vet and learn about breeding.
