Cockatiel not bonding?

Hello
i got a female cockatiel 5 months a go and a male 2 months ago. So far they have been together for 2 months and i still havent seen them mating. If the female goes close to the male, he sometimes pecks at her. Sometimes the male puts his head down and goes close to the female, the female ALWAYS pecks at him i never saw they both preening each other.

I want them to breed. I put a nest box 2 weeks ago for testing what i saw was the female rushed in. i kept watching…the only thing she was doing wastaking stuff out from the nest and playing with them. SOmetimes if the female is in the nest and the male goes in, the female rushes out. From what i have experienced from the internet it said that the male is the one who goes in the nest first.

the breeder that i got the birds from said they both are old enough to breed and that they will breed in 1 week. The breeder isnt at his palce anymore so i cant get help from him Any ideas???
thx

Has anyone ever………………?

When you get a new pet like a conure and you know that bottle feeding is bonding time with the baby but your parents are too lazy to take you what do you do or how would you react?
If you did this some1 would think u don’t care or bond with the bird and why is that so?
According to my breeders and my information I am bottle feeding it and you have a closer bond when bottle feeding.
