Best Lutino Pearl
Hen
Haley is our pick for the best Lutino Pearl Hen of 2006, but
she may just be our best breeding of the year !! A
phenomenal pairing of Tory linebred genetics has blended
our best Tory hen, Dottie with our showiest Normal / Lutino &
Pearl cock, Balls to create this irreplaceable young hen.
Dottie (Haley's mother) passed away earlier this year.
She was a magical soul that was always there to give us
a warm greeting on our morning rounds through the aviary &
greenhouse.
As beautiful as she was, it paled in comparison to her
cheerful attitude and gentle nature
especially around the neighborhood children who love to stop
by and say "hi" to all of our birds.

As beautiful as she was, it paled in comparison to her

But, before she passed, she and Balls bred and Haley is the result.
Dottie will be missed at TopTiels for years to come, but she lives on in her one and only
daughter, whose personality is every bit as endearing as her mother's was.
Haley is a rich blend of sunshine yellow and buttercream. She is extremely full chested
and has a wonderful wide head with deeply set large eyes and a magnificent
Hawky brow. Her crest is long and elegant and she never stops showing off to
her admirers. Like many of our other Lutinos here, capturing a photograph that actually
does her justice has proven to be difficult. But, take our word for it ...
In person, she is as unforgettable as her parents.
In the future, Haley will play a large role in our Tory & Greeson breeding programs.
She will be linebred to her father, who has a large Greeson background
to begin with, and then to some of our best purebred Greeson cocks. Hopefully,
a new family will emerge as a result and offspring will compete on show benches
across the country.
Best Normal Cock
Rocky is one beautiful bird and worthy of our pick for best
Normal cock - 2006 !!
His father is 16P-121-05 bred by Phil Feret. With almost a full
Greeson pedigree, 121 came to our aviary in early 2005 and
we were extremely excited to introduce him to our hens. He
quickly chose a large Cinnamon showgirl from Moose & Sadie
and they've been inseparable ever since.
Sadie is also linebred for her valuable Greeson genes, so the
pair couldn't have been better had we chosen them ourselves.
This young pair of birds wowed us with their determination to
nest at such an early age and we are so thankful that they
insisted !! In the future, this duo will produce more outstanding

examples of what "the Classic Greeson Look" is all about. Large blocky heads on long
full frames, big soft puppy dog eyes and an attitude befitting royalty.
Rocky is a nice big bird, with a triangular-shaped head, deep hawky brow and beautiful
full crest. His eyes are perfectly proportioned and his large frame stands tall and glides
effortlessly through our flights.
Interestingly, our plans were to introduce Rocky to a purebred Greeson hen, but he beat
us to the punch ! While they are still too young to breed, he has chosen an outstanding
Greeson Cinnamon Pearl hen from Apollo & Leta and they are spending the Arizona
winter resting in the sun.

Best Pearl Hen &
Pearl Cock
Now everyone enjoys a good mystery right ?
Mystery almost made it to the Nationals this year at the
insistence of Josh Maple, but flight delays made this impossible
- so we'll just let her enjoy the cool winter days right here at
home. She decided to share the chilly nights with Neon, our
brightly colored January boy from a gorgeous pair of Dominant
Yellow Cheeks and this led to three fertile eggs that they have
tended to like the pros they will someday become.
December 26th, 2006 - Two adorable babies are now being
handfed. One is a Lutino Pearl hen and the other is a normal
pearl. Photos will be coming soon !!

While this pair chose to begin their breeding careers earlier than many, they proudly
tended their eggs like they had been doing this forever. Hens and cocks all mature
differently and these two youngsters show that when they're ready - they're ready.
In the future, Mystery will be introduced to another cock from our Greeson lines and Neon
to another hen. Neon sports an extremely yellow pigment that was evidenced as a young
chick. In fact, he was referred to as the "orange-pinned baby" because his young feathers
(still in their sheaths) were literally glowing orange! When he finished feathering out, the
orange faded to an intense yellow that he wears proudly to this day.
In addition to his extraordinary color, he has a beautiful shape, a nice head and a cheerful
disposition, so we're naming Neon our best of 2006 Pearl cock!
