It is very common and natural for female birds to lay eggs at regular intervals even when they are not in the presence if a male. Removing the nest may help in slowing down egg production, but many birds will do this. I myself had female zebra finches that laid an egg at least every two weeks, and of course they never hatched because the eggs were infertile.

Can you have other cockatiels in the same cage as a breeding pair of cockateils?
You can, but it really depends on the personality of the breeding pair. Sometimes, the breeding pair will be so territorial that they will not breed with other cockatiels in close proximity, and will toss the eggs out of the nesting box. Others have no problems at all, and several pairs of cockatiels will be breeding at the same time. It is important to make sure the aviary is large enough to accommodate more birds, and that each of the breeding pairs has sufficianet privacy, for example, placing nesting boxes at opposite ends of the cage.
