We didn't start out buying cockatiels at a pet store. Someone else bought them and then realized that they didn't want them. They were sold to a close relative of ours who was staying at our home. After a few months, that person left also leaving the birds in our permanent care. Later on, they were given to us.

We didn't have the full story about the birds, and thought that they were both male, or both female for a time. Wouldn't you know it, at about the time that they became full-fleged adults (about 2 years) voilia there's an egg in the cage.

That where our journey starts.....
