Private Genetics Consultations
Sometimes even an abundance of books, articles and commentary is not enough to solve
a more difficult cockatiel genetics question. If you have an unusual or rare color
mutation, or just have a challenging question  you cannot find an answer for that
requires time and research, then contact Aves Communications to help find answers. In
addition to color mutations, questions can be handled in any area that may affect
genetic inheritance - from lethal genes to undesirable traits - in breeding management,
pet care, or show exhibition. Inquire for services at
Aves @CockatielsPlusParrots.com.
Speaker Presentations
If your group is seeking a professional presentation please review the various
PowerPoint Programs available for your meeting. Currently, there are several topics
including a two-part program on linebreeding techniques for parrots to breed for

program on cockatiel color mutations, and a unique trip into the Australian Outback.
