My cockatiel is aggressive, eats poop, sits low. Is she laying eggs?

Question

My 8 month cockatiel Pika (unknown gender) has started to become a little aggressive, eats their poop and has started to sit at the bottom of the cage only for a little while before moving around. Pika is still very active, eats on time and isn't fluffed up. Pika's also vocal and flys around all day. Could pika be a female and be about to lay eggs? Or is this a sign of illness?

Thanks for reaching out about Pikachu. Yes this could be a sign of preparing to lay eggs. Showing any re-arranging of furniture, as in nest building? Is he/she was ill, would think wouldn't be as active. The white cockatiels often have horizontal bars on the inside of the primary feathers. Good luck.
