The spaces between the bars are probably too wide for a cockatiel. It would be able to get through them.

Is it bad to feed cockatiels in their cage?
No it's fine to feed cockatiels in their cage. I feed mine in their cage as they will not eat out of my hand. Just make sure you clean their cage thoroughly every day, including perches, dishes, toys etc. Also make sure your birds have vegetables and fruit to eat aswell as seeds or pellets to keep them healthy.
Why does your cockatiel flick seed everywhere?
Your cockatiel is flinging all the other seeds out of the way as it tried to find its favourites in the seed dish. Make sure you have a decent cage protector for the lower half of the cage (available from any pet shop) and this will minimise the problem (but it will not eliminate it completely).
Is it better to allow your cockatiel to spend time outside its cage or to keep it in the cage?
As long as its wings are clipped so that it can't escape or hurt itself flying into something, letting it out of the cage and handling it will make for a nicer bird.
If you put small sticks in a cockatiel's cage will it make a nest?
it depends how old the bird is if the bird is young it probably won't know how to make a nest. if the bird is older it will probably make a nest.
Can you put in a new cockatiel with an old cockatiel?
Yes you could but they might not always get on. I have got a cockatiel. I did have another one but she died. :( Anyways , when I put my new cockatiel, Polo, in the cage the other cockatiel Biddy just hissed a bit and went to the other end of the cage. The sometimes used to fight but not dangerous fighting. Just bickering at each other. If they do start fighting and it could lead to... well, you know what I mean, you should move one out of the cage for a bit and maybe put them in another cage. Put the cages next to each other so they slowly get used to each other. That's what I did. Now Polo is lonely because Biddy died :( . anyways, hope that helped! xxx

Can you place the cockatiel cage near a sealed window?
It is very healthy for your Cockatiel to be near a window by nice natural sunlight but they cannot be by a window during winter time or very cold days unless you have wind and cold resistant windows. If an animal does get too cold they can die just of that but if it is in the summer time right away I say yes that it is very healthy for it. Just make sure it is not too cold for you Cockatiel.
