Originally, what I had was some pellets made for the bottom of cages. You are supposed to replace them every two weeks or so. But-this was costly, annoying, hard to manage, and SMELLY.
I had the brilliant idea of just putting newspaper on the bottom of his cage. It looks nicer, it's way easier to handle, it's easy to clean and take out, and-best of all-it DOESN'T SMELL!

How large should a cage for 7 cockatiels be?

Will cockatiels breed with several in a cage?
Well, this question really depends on how large your cage is. If you have a very, very large cage, maybe you should fit about five at the MOST. You don't want to overcrowd them. This leads to fighting, and even in the worst case-death. In a medium/large cage, you should put two, at the most.
