About Us_ My name is Judy Brumley,
Dan and I are Great-Grand-parents and we live in La Paz, Indiana.
Dan brought home our first trio of cockatiels around in 1998 when
someone he knew was getting married, and his fiancé didn't care to
have them. Like so many others, I became interested in the
other mutations and bought quite a few from newspaper ads to raise
baby cockatiels. Eventually I sold or gave nearly all away, being
disappointed in my success, not ever thinking to ask how old they
were, and other good questions.
_Then I read in the back of Bird Talk magazine that there were Bird
Fairs and Bird Shows. A SHOW (not a Bird Fair) was coming up in a
city not far away. That was Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Bird Show
Cockatie Division was still my best interest. It was
being judged by National Cockatiel Society's panel judge - the late
Charles Anchor.
_I was so impressed and in awe when I saw the cockatiels exhibited
that day. The tutoring of judge Anchor and his method of
placing his best birds being exhibited captured my interest.
If you already like cockatiels, wait until you see the cockatiels of
the top ranking advanced exhibitors in National Cockatiel Society
and American Cockatiel Society. You have got a treat coming.

_Breeding Goals_ My interest has evolved since 1998 as a
"Pet Cockatiel Breeder". Since 2005 I have concentrated on
breeding "Top
Bench" show
cockatiels. In 2008 I am learning "The art of breeding a
Champion". To date I have bred
4 NCS Champions
, a
Cinnamon-Lutino hen out of "Bar" & "DJ", a Normal split cock ,
out of "Kelly" & "MiMi", a Cinnamon hen, out of "Chip" and
"MiMi", a Cinnamon-Pearl hen, out of "Pretty Boy" and "Cher" and exhibited a
foundation
hen
"DJ" to
Grand Champion status in a very
small cockatiel aviary. More recently, I am most happy to
own and admire my beautiful cockatiels.
_Availability_ is very limited since I only have 2 pairs
of cockatiels now. I don't breed any rare mutations.
I just have
the original normal gray
and "normal pearl" mutation cockatiels.
At 4 - 6 months the young male
pearl's feathers will start to lose the
pearl lacings and by 1 year old will look like an adult normal
dark gray male with a yellow face and orange cheek patches.
