Since parakeets breed when others are around when tiny and tinsel are ready is it possible to trick them into thinking they are part of a flock?

I don't think you'll have to trick them. I've read many accounts of a single pair of budgies mating, without having a flock around. Bluebirds' pair is mating right now, and she only has the two of them. Just remember that both Tiny and especially Tinsel need to be a full year old before you even start getting them ready to breed.

Indeed birds are ready to breed at 6-8 months but IT IS VERRRRRYYYY UNSAFE! You could end up having the chicks abandoned or one of the parents dead, the female I believe has more chance of becoming egg-bound, even though this happens with mature budgies too.
Anyway yes you can breed with 1 pair but I have to admit it will take a while, I have been planning on breeding my birds for 2 years now, because 1st breeding season, on summer holidays it didn't work so I'm trying this year again! I'm not saying it'll take you 2 years though I'm just saying that it doesn't just happen, you need to give your share too.

Is your sister older than you, or younger? It's exciting that she's getting a budgie, too. I'm sure you will be a big help to her in leaning to care for her budgie.
