About Us

We have been breeding Cockatiels for the past three decades and it is not only our hobby ,but our passion.

We strive to produce the best quality Cockatiels in every mutation available in South Africa and world wide.

 

Cockatiel mutations and genetics is the part of our hobby that we enjoy thoroughly, we are always pleased to meet new 

and old breeders that share the passion to the extent that we do. 

Genetics

Genetics is a part of the passion that can cause a lot of confusion and conflict between breeders. Genetics is no easy aspect of Cockatiel breeding and luckily we live in a time where we have factual information available at a click of a button.

Mutations

Mutations go hand in hand with genetics as inheritance is just as important as appearance. Mutant genes are all ,but scarce under Cockatiels and is one of the biggest reasons why this species is so popular all around the world, not all mutations are linked to color changes ,but build, posture and crest size are all mutations that can be established and give us all as breeders challenges to work towards to breed better birds.
