Our goal is 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.
Since we are providing answers to questions this guide is setup in a
Questions and Answers format. If you don't find the answer to your
question, visit the NCS website
www.cockatiels.org for many informative articles. If you have a
question to ask, then visit the Talk About Tiels message board and ask our
panelists.
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.
These are the topics covered in the guide. To purchase a
copy for only $2.00 visit the
NCS
Store.
