Another great day today at the National Poultry Show. Thanks to all the FSA volunteers.
We signed up a few new members - does anyone recognise the young bloke with the glasses?
One day to go - don't miss out!

Hey Sam,
Is he really articulate and so nice as on tv? Looking at the photos he seems passionate about things, he would be a good bloke to get on board, me thinks.

Yes. A nice bloke. As a kid I started in birds with exhibition budgies at the same club with Don and Dr Harry. Don has some great ideas regarding promotion of aviculture that we'll definitely explore. Did you know he had success with Beautiful Firetails and also Red-eared Firetails some years ago? I hope to get him along to speak on these at an FSA meeting.

Final day. We had to dismantle longtail, ruddy and cuban nests.

Congratulations Sam, Ivan, Ben and Finch Society of Australia volunteers for a great display and involvement at the recent National Poultry Show.
It was great to see the public so interested in the Red Siskin initiative and the Black Throat Recovery Program.
And it was fantastic to sign up some new members, including a couple of juniors.
Well done everybody.
