Cockatiel Puberty

Does anyone know how long cockatiel puberty lasts in males?
Literally nothing no matter how many ways you google search.

Thank you!

Tiels seem to be the quivilant of a teenager until about 2 years old. They can phisically be a parent around 6 months, but are not mature enough, phisically or mentally to raise offspring until around 2 years.

They do go through hormonal periods of time, spring and fall where they are more agressive. This can be triggered at any time by the presence of what a male can precieve as a nest box.
