Question
1.how old do baby cockatiel have to be before they can breed?
2.how long should we take out the box and give them rest from setting and then let them set again?

Answer
6-10 months thou I persoanly wouldnt allow a female cockatile under 12 months to breed. two clutches in a row yearly should be fine...after the last clutch is weaning take them from teh box and remove the box before they lay again...handfeed the babies until there fully weaned....as the tiels will breed over and over and over until the box is gone.
