Cockatiels do not need anything to have a mate. Just put him/her in the cage with your cockatiel, however, if you want them to mate, they will not mate if you do not have a nesting box. In order to breed cockatiels, you will need a nesting box.
They are the same both ways. But I have found that Young Cockatiels like a playmate and Older Cockatiels don't really care.
Yes, cockatiel eggs need to be kept warm. :}

The cockatiel is a type of Australian parrot.
Cockatiels are wild birds so if they were never tamed when they were young, they will still be untame. It is easier to tame a young cockatiel, however with the right attitude, you can tame an adult cockatiel. You have to start with trust. Taming a cockatiel take a while and one wrong move could ruin all your work. Start with standing next to the cage and talking to your bird. Do this for about a week so your cockatiel gets to know your voice and is calmer around you. Then you could try putting a fresh vegetable (in your hand) next to the cockatiel and hold it there. Don't force the cockatiel to get closer to your hand - this will scare him/her. You need to earn trust. Eventually, your cockatiel will be comfortable with you having your hand near him/her. If you cockatiel is comfortable to actually eat from your hand, you can try picking it up. Do not grab our cockatiel on its back, try to persuade him/her to sit on your finger. Do not force your cockatiel to get onto your hand. This will ruin the trust. Eventually your cockatiel will be ready to sit on your finger and eventually your shoulder! It's all about trust and if you're cockatiel trusts you, it would love to sit on your shoulder!
Cockatiel females are fertilized internally.
You would need two pairs. One pair for you and one pair for your friend.
The purpose of having a cockatiel cage is because they need plenty of room to move around and so you can put objects in the cage so they can climb. The birds love to have plenty of things to do in their cages.
that they are still alive and they still need heat and that they will still hatch eventually.
Please see the Related Links for websites that should provide you with plenty of information about caring for pet cockatiels. You should make sure that you have the space and the time before adopting any pet. You should visit your local library and find relatively recent books about caring for cockatiels. They too are a very good resource.
There is no such thing as the biggest cockatiel beacause all cockatiel are small but cockatiels are from the cockatoo family, so its relative ( the cockatoo) will be the biggest.
I would recommend you buy a baby cockatiel. That way it would be more likely to bond with you.
Every form of animal and plant life has a genus. The cockatiel's is Nimphicus.
