    I'd like to show my cockateil Tequila.  She is show quality so the
    breeder said.  I was wonder what a show cage is and how I would go
    about finding out when the next show is, how to keep her tail out of
    the water dish, how to register for the show, etc.  I was told that
    Tequila is a female cinnamon pied.  Is that correct?  Any help is
    appreciated.  I did read the previous file note about bird show
    pointers but I'd like more info.  Does anyone have old registration
    forms or old regulations just for a reference.

|     Lisa,
    
    I will check to see if I kept my last two show bulletins for BOAF.
    (I believe that I did).  I recall one of the bulletins had all of
    the specifics on how the cockatiels were judged.  If I do have it
    I will send it out to you.  I'll let you know.
    
    Cinnamon Pieds are beautiful birds!  I believe that Linda Compton
    has a back note on tips that the Cockatiel Judge gave at the NHAS
    Bird Show.  That must be the note that you read.
    
    Regards,
    Denise

|     Denise,
    Did you find the bulletin?  I'm so excited to start showing!  I used to
    love showing horses but somehow I think this is a little different. 
    Imagine trying to put a cockateil under saddle.  Oh,  I made a mistake.
    Tequila is a pearl cinnamon.  OOPS!  I feel like such a novice.  Maybe
    that's because I am.

|     Hi, here is the name of a contact in Sudbury, MA who may be able
    to answer your questions.  I met her at a show.
    
    Patricia E. Tucker
    (508)443-5218 
    
    She owns the Feathering Crest Aviary and has a long line of show
    credits including a best cockatiel at the New Hampshire Avicultural
    society show just last year.  She has successfully bred an  all
    black cockatiel, no orange cheeks or yellow crest.
