Sometimes if your cockatiel is eating a lot of fruit or moist food, such as various citrus fruits, this can cause him or her to express more urine than usual. Stress can also cause a increase in the amount of urine your cockatiel will express but this should not last for more than two days - if it does see your avian veterinarian. To find a avian veterinarian google avian vet org.
If the increase in urine has lasted over 48 hours, then this may indicate your bird in not well. Birds do not show when they are ill and hide symptoms. Unfortunately because of this, its very hard to know when a cockatiel is ill and when you do start noticing symptoms this means your bird is usually very sick. You may not want to hear this but personally I would contact your avian veterinarian and ask for advice.
There is a website dedicated to cockatiels called cockatiel cottage which has a lot of useful information about this species. It will prove invaluable. :-)
