How to Exhibit Cockatiels |
| | Our goal was to create a guide for Novice Exhibitors, and to provide them information about handling, breeding and exhibiting their birds. Exhibiting Cockatiels can be fun, challenging, and rewarding. New exhibitors always have many questions. This guide covers many of the questions and answers that a future exhibitor would ask. Information has been collected from our NCS Panel Judges along with exhibitors and members to start you on your way to the world of Cockatiel Exhibition.

Novice of the Year Awards Program
|
Any novice exhibitor may qualify for the Novice Exhibitor of the Year Award in each year they exhibit in any NCS affiliated shows. Each bird placed on the Top Novice Bench will earn the EXHIBITOR (not the bird) points according to the placing of the bird(s). The First Best in Novice winner in each show will earn its owner 10 points. Second placement earns the exhibitor 9 points, 3rd placement is 8 points, with the rest of the placements declining one point each down to 10th placement earning one point.
Any birds banded by any advanced exhibitor and shown in novice will be disqualified to participate in the Novice Exhibitor of the Year Award. At the end of the calendar year, the Points Registrar will compile the listing in order of total points accumulated by placing birds on the Top Novice Bench. The Points Registrar will send a notification to each participant earning points that year. The names will also be listed in the NCS Journal and online on the NCS web page.
Learn how to determine if your bird is banded by an advanced exhibitor.
