Do cockatiels have to like each other to mate?


Answers:
Ummm NO, do hookers like their mates to do their duties? There will be a few tiels who will allow males to copulate with them even though they do not like them. Face the facts of life and realize that birds are forced to live with each other due to human error and nothing more.
Birds have personalities just like humans and some don't get along well and will fight until blood is shed. Some deal with each other because they have no other choice, and some get along pretty well. Then there is the flip side of things, where there are some who will fight till the death of one of them.
I've never seen two birds alike in the same species, unless they are twins and yes that happens too in birds.
So to answer your question the answer is NO they don't have to like each other, but it sure would help if they did, LOL.
Good Luck!
Just like most other animals...yep.
yep..
Yes they do. You wouldn't mate with someone unless you had a certain affection for them. Well, at least i hope not. LOL! You will know they like each other if they appear comfortable in the same cage/aviary. If you see them preening or feeding each other you have definetly got a pair. truely鈾バ惭徰斺櫏
Well yes, of course.. but that doesn't mean they'll be sad without a mate, don't think you have to mate them.
not neccessarly !
Tiels if introduced properly should get on regardless as their of the same species and have same temperments. You should keep them in seperate cages for about a month before you put them in the same cage.
If you think that they dont get on this doesnt mean "they dont get on'. They maybe still sussing each other out. They need time alot of time together when introducing new birds to your flock. This is especially the case when one tiel has been in the cage for such a time that he/she feels that its theirs and the new bird introduced rapidally in this enviroment will be extremely nervous until they used to each other.
Also if you expect your birds to mate, make sure you DNA them to make sure its a male and female.
