Cockatiels like to do many things, but it varies from bird to bird. My bird, for instance, loves getting his head scratched, eating seeds, playing with his toys, napping, grooming, and many other things. Another cockatiel, for instance, might enjoy running around all day, and yet another may just want to sleep. Usually it's something like my bird, a mix of the two.
Yes, cockatiels can get parasites.
Cockatiels are a type of cockatoo.
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.

Cockatiels are parrots, and members of the cockatoofamily.
I'm assuming you mean 'cockatiels,' the bird. :) But, no, they usually don't. Many cockatiels won't stop moving around and yelling, since they have no idea where they are.
Cockatiels LOVE toys. They like little bells, baskets, mirrors, and humans. They should get a lot of attention and are a long term little birdy friend.

62% of all cockatiels sold in stores are males.
In their native habitat, cockatiels do flock with other cockatiels. This is a natural behaviour which is primarily for defence against larger birds of prey.
Yes, most birds have the ability to smell. However, only a few birds have really good olfactory glands. Cockatiels are not one of these. So yes, but not very much.
