Our resident queen, Hera, is currently
our largest hen. With a flight weight of
195 grams and a cage weight that can
go as high as 230, she has to be
monitored closely in all situations where
a smaller cage keeps her massive frame
from daily exercise.
For this reason, she is bred in a
separate flight that measures 3X3X7'
long. Her nestbox hole is even cut larger
so that her shoulders don't touch when
she enters and exits (yep... she's picky -
but she's gorgeous).
While we have tried on many different
occasions to breed her with other birds
here (cousins & sons), she has
remained quite loyal to her original mate,
Zeus. Since both of these majestic birds
represent the highest quality
TopTiels.com has to offer, we have
decided to leave them paired together
and to live their lives as the loving
couple that they have become.

Both of these birds are 100% Greeson and
are highly sought after lines. They are
known, not only for their massive size, but
also for their large heads and eyes,
impressive crests and general friendliness in
the aviary. Greeson pairings have been
responsible for increased size in aviaries
throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
When available, chicks from this large
Greeson pair start at $600. They are rare
and very difficult to acquire, but as you can
see, worth their weight in gold to any aviary
attempting to increase the size in their
current flock. When these young birds are

sold,
new owners are asked to provide them
with larger than normal areas for
exercise. Unnecessary weight on these
larger birds can lead to all kinds of
problems not the least of which are fatty
livers.
When provided with a large expanse to
fly, play and otherwise exercise, these
giants will reward their owner with years
of health and many outstanding babies.

from her flight and into a large breeding
cage. She is lean, muscular and in
perfect condition to breed.

Shown to the left is Hera next to her son,
Achilles. As a youngster, Achilles had a
larger than normal head that gave him a
"gangly" teenage appearance. But, as time
went by, his body caught up to his head and
he is now one of our largest most impressive
cocks.
