I've kept birds since I was about twelve years old. My first interest was in breeding color mutations. In 1989 I bought a whiteface cockatiel from an importer here in Miami and bred him with a big lutino hen. From that start I bred one of the first albinos to be shown at an ACS show. My focus turned to breeding more for conformation, that is to say, balance, size, posture and length. In 2006 one of my cockatiels went Best in Show at the American Cockatiel Society Specialty Show.

My cockatiels come from the lines established by Ken and Maureen O'Steen. Through the years I've out-crossed them to Pam Holmer and Linda Greeson's lines. I owe a debt of gratitude to these fine people.

I am a member of the American Cockatiel Society who's web site can be found at http://www.acstiels.com.

This site is dedicated to the dissemination of information relating to the management of the cockatiel as a pet, a breeder and as an exhibition bird. I do encourage you to research other sites, because there are more than one way to manage birds!

One of my goals is to present the most current information available in the field of Cockatiel Genetics. I encourage feedback and will update this site with new information as it becomes available.

I hope you will enjoy my site and if you learn something new, I will have done my job.
