Thanks Garry. I tried to post the details but couldn't (old person syndrome)
The judging starts at 9am and if anyone is thinking of dropping in for a look, that's fine.
Just be aware of keeping out of the way of the stewards moving birds to and from the
judges staging. Coff & tea will be on hand & the show usually winds up by around 1pm.

Nice pics but I find it strange most are against Hybrids but here we have one that is awarded?? How do you educate people against them if that is happening :think:

I agree, that thing should have points taken off for being a mongrel. They shouldnt even have a class for hybrids

These People don't deliberatly breed hybrids they just happen (very rarely) as a result of mixed aviary situations & some are bought at pet shops.
People bag them but would you rather kill them because they are mongrels ? As a bird person, I wouldn’t.

As an aviculturalist, yes I would rather euthanase them and I disagree, there are many deliberatley bred, you only have to look at petlink. Its illegal in victoria and qld for native birds, but not in NSW. Providing a show class for them only encourages the practice. As "Bird People" we should be discouraging the practice and doing everything to keep our birds as pure species
