The ANBC National Budgerigar Show being in Ballarat, Victoria
This show is to select WA’s “Nationals” show team. The nationals are being held in SA this year, so the birds selected today will be taken to Victor Harbour and go against the best the country has to offer.
Very exciting event for those who get selected. Well worth a look, so come down say “Goodaye” and have a look at some quality show birds.
Benching starts at 10am sharp and all birds will be judged via a judges panel.
A general show with no pressure. Exhibit your birds (financial members only) against other local breeders and see how you get on. Fun and friendly atmosphere. Food, hot and cold drinks will be available from the canteen.
Specials for the month:
Normal Green
Normal Violet
Albino
Opaline AOSV
Recessive Pied
Crested
Special classes are worth extra points and birds on the bench are worth points too. The points go towards your annual achievements so bring what you can!
All thing being equal this should be the date but maybe postponed to the 1st May. Please check with the club!
This is our biggest show of the year with exhibits from the best the club has to offer. Well worth coming to even if it is just for a chat. Top breeders from the club will be showing their birds.
Benching is from 10:00am and judging will commence at 11:00. Unfortunately you won’t be able to view the birds while judging is in progress. There will be people to talk too and things too see. There will be food and hot and cold drinks available from the canteen on the day. You can buy seed and various accessories as well at club prices.
Come down and say hello. If your a member then why not enter some of your birds and see how they go! Classes cover all varieties and all levels of experience, junior, novice, intermediate and open classes. We have you covered!
If the temperature is 36C or above the show will be cancelled. Please check with the club if you are unsure.
See you on the day.
Another very successful day over and done with for another year.
We had 95 lots offered for auction and 29 registered bidders. There was plenty of varieties to choose from. This was a great opportunity to obtain some very nice birds.
The records of the day was for a Sky Blue maiden hen selling for $600. The average price being around $130 per bird. I believe this was a very reasonable price for the quality of birds on offer.
The canteen had fresh sandwiches, hamburgers made to order, cakes and chocolates. And of course the usual tea, coffee and soft drinks.
Thank you everyone who helped make the day the great success it was.
Til next time
Happy Birding
