You better look out as cockatiels are randy little mac daddies. If you keep them together it won't be long before this guy is laying more pipe than Halliburton. What I've heard and seen is that once the male becomes 1 year old or older he's gonna do what my friend in the bird raising business said. Now follow me, this is a difficult scientific concept: A virile and sexually frustrated male in captivity will try with all his might to do what scientists call "getting his swerve on". Shocking, I know, but mommy bird plus hyperhorny daddy bird staring at his dead sexy cagemate equals eggs. Now I suppose you could give them away but there isn't a whole lot of payoff for that or that much of a market. If you raise them yourself it will be very time intensive and unrewarding unless this is a proven breeding pair with a pedigree. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it ain't. My suggestion is to give them away or seperate the birds unless you are totally committed to finding a sucker, I mean gracious adopter, of the fertile eggs.
