Bird Behavior… I NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!?

Ok here is the deal, i have one male cocktail and one female. I have had both of them for about a year. Now all of a sudden out of nowhere the male bird starts either talking or singing to the female and approaches her but she move backs, or runs away. The male bird starts biting her A LOT now, first i thought the male didn’t like her but I’ve been researching and it seems that the male wants to mate but the female doesn’t??? i am not sure i bought a nest box should i put it in? i don’t know much about babies and i don’t know if i should buy a bigger cage….. should i put the nest inside of the cage? i need help and fast!!!!!
P.s the male bird raises his feathers on his head and threatens me and bits me when i approach him, i went away for summer vac. could it be that he forgot me and if he did what should i do to keep the relationship!?!?!?!
I cant seperate them because when i do both the male and female call each other

Seed or pellets?

Okay, whats the big deal about the pellets? I have always feed my parakeets and cockatiels seed. The pet store near here and wal-mart dont sell them.. so whats the big deal about them. My birds have always lived about 5 -6 yrs.

Bird Feed…?

Many people have told me my birds need to be on a pellet diet. I know they are full of vitamins and all that jazz…but I feed mine seed. That is what they would find in the wild…I also provide fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. My birds are living healthily and happily. I just don’t see what the big deal is about pellets. Can someone please explain?
