Located in Central New Jersey, right on the Jersey Shore, Cockatiel Cottage started breeding cockatiels in 1991, with a pair of Lutinos that were given to my son, Josh.  Almost twelve years later, we now breed seven of the recognized mutations, including Sex-linked Yellowcheeks and Whitefaces, but mostly specialize in the Lutinos and Heavy Pieds. 

We started exhibiting the cockatiels in 1993.  Bird shows have taken us north to New Hampshire, south to Georgia and west to Washington state.  In recent years, both Josh and I have placed amongst the Top 20 Exhibitors of the Year.  We have been the NCS State Coordinators for New Jersey since 1995, being awarded the State Coordinators of the Year award in 1999. Josh has just recently finished his apprenticeship to be an NCS judge. 

We started breeding Green Rump, Deliciosus, Parrotlets in 1999, and exhibiting them the following year.  Only recently have we widened our parrotlet population to encompass the yellow and blue mutations of the pacific parrotlets.

The most recent addition to our aviary are the 2 pairs of green lineolated parakeets. They are settling in nicely and hopefully will be good breeders for us in the future.
