Babies at K&L Aviary

We are having a very good winter season for K&L Babies! I will try to have a booth at the Raleigh Durham Caged Bird Society show where these babies, and more, will be looking for homes. I do have several of you on a waiting list, so keep a look out on the yahoogroup for more information on what is coming available. My website is also a great place to find up to date information when birds come available. Many of these birds are too soon to tell whether they will be for sale yet, but I'm will be able to take specific orders when they are around 6 weeks.

The first two pictures are from JA Bro and from CC. They are third generation K&L Aviary and we are getting very close to the look we want. The last normal is a beautiful normal split to pied from DHB and a Pearl hen that I bought from Calico Aviaries in 2005. I have high hopes for this clutch since the 2005 clutch from DHB did very well on the show bench and one made its Champion before it was even a year of age! These guys are going to be even more stylish as the hen is very stylish! She is sired from a Linda Greeson bred male and her mother is bred from Robert Spicnall. I was very happy to get such a wonderful hen from Calico, and her and her sister (residing at Love Tiels) have both placed on the bench this year!

I'll keep the pictures coming in the next couple of posts

Mailing List Now Available

K&L Aviary has started a new mailing list. You can access by joining

http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/klaviary

This is a yahoo group that will only be used as a mailing list for sales birds as they come available. Mail will be kept to a minimum and we think its a user friendly alternative to bulk mail that you have no control over.

Please join now.

Looking forward, looking back...

What better thing to talk about when you are on down time from showing but FUTURE shows!

This year, K&L Cockatiels is planning on going to many shows in our area. While we have decided not to go to some of the shows that are further away, K&L is planning on going to the NCS Specialty show in Puerto Rico this year. Its a good excuse to go to Puerto Rico and see some of our PR cockatiel buddies.

K&L is also starting up the planning of the RDCBS show. We'll have more information in the future but we are planning for a great Southeast Regional Cockatiel show! We'll have new rules and regs put up on the RDCBS site when they come available. Last year, RDCBS had the largest cockatiel show in the country and won the nomination of being the NCS Specialty Show.

If you have any questions about any shows in the area, please email us, and we'll get you started in the right direction.

In other news, Karl has taken on the position of Membership Representative for the IPS. IPS has been both of our passion for the past year and next year, as President, we are going to be working on some new projects. We'll also be putting up our pairs in a few months and should have some babies in the late spring and early summer. We are getting back into pacifics and will be showing some of our babies this year in SPBE and IPS. We will also be showing our Jardine which is now turning 3 years of age this year!

Next posting, I'll be posting some baby pictures to get you guys excited about this years breedings.

Leslie and Karl
