We had a very successful weekend at K&L Aviary! Again, for the second time this year, Lola (70L-501-05) has made it up on the show bench! Lola has been very stable on the show bench in the past year and she should be up around enough points for her Grandchampion soon!
Also on the bench was our Normal/wf under Gary Morgan. He gave him the Judges Award and 4th in show, explaining that he had the potential, on another day (he was getting a little tired) of being Best in Show! Don't we know it! He's been as far as 2nd in Show and has accumulated enough top bench points to be a Grandchampion! His son, our first bred baby of this year (70L-801-08) benched 8th in show! This is the first of our bred babies to go on the bench this year. Its very unusual to bench a baby in the spring season. He's a cinnamon cock and is the spitting image of his father (his mother is GrCH "Grey Goose's" daughter). Grey Goose was bred by Phil Feret and is a stunning example of a wf hen! Our favorite! Also as a first is a 2007 bred DHB grey hen. Although her tail was not quite yet grown in, Beyonce, did a great job and stunned everyone, as usual with her beautiful head and crest (a hallmark of DHB's babies). Her sister is nearing her Grandchampion status but is currently set up for breeding. We can't wait as she's been bred to "Spottie" a pointed Pearl/ Lutino cock. We're crossing our fingers for Lutino Pearls!
Once again, we've set up 18 of our best cockatiels to go through a summer breeding. We don't plan to breed again this fall so we've set up some wonderful birds. Special thanks to Josh Maple for sending us over two beautiful whiteface cocks. They are paired to our rare Goldcheeks and we'll expect goldcheeks for the fall season! The hen is from Ms. Julia Allen and she is a Gorgeous hen! The other GC is her baby! Josh really out did himself on his graciousness of these two wf cocks.
Have a great summer! We'll post pics soon!
