It's very difficult to visually determine the sex of a cockatiel, although experienced bird owners can usually tell. It's very easy to determine by studying the behavior of the bird. When a female wants to mate, she will lower her head and swish her tail back and forth. A male will actually masturbate - on your hand, on a corner of a toy in his cage, or even on the corner of his food bowl. When he is done, he may sing very loudly at the top of his lungs for a few minutes. He will also ejaculate. Males are also more vocal than females, they sing more, and many of them can talk a little. My male cockatiel, Sam, has a vocabulary of about 20 words at times.

Seems as if you have a female despite what you were told. Females will lay eggs on occasion even if there is not a male present. Leave the egg until the female loses interest.
