Bird sand or some type of bird grit is a must for cockatiels, as they need it to help them digest their food. All you need to do is sprinkle a small handful on the bottom of their cage whenever you change the paper (at least once a week). An alternative is to get some sand and grit, mix it in a feeding bowl, and keep it on the side of the cage, near their normal seed bowl.

How do I get my cockatiel to stop biting?

The bird does not like being handled, it is biting you so that you will let go. Wear a leather glove when you handle the bird and do it often, he will get more used to being handled and get no satisfaction from biting you as it will not hurt and make you put him down. Or get a dog.
