This show presents a wonderful opportunity for enthusiasts
and interested members of the public to view a display of many different types
and breeds
of and perhaps some of the best canaries in Victoria, or indeed Australia. Just
a sample of some of the types on display include the ever popular Border
Fancy, the almost parrot sized Yorkshire and the brilliantly coloured Red
Factors not to forget to mention Lizards, Glosters, Fyfes, etc, the list could go
on and on.
The show takes the form of a Derby & Oaks event! that is, cock birds in the
various classes are judged against other cock birds to establish a winner for
that class. The winners of each class for a particular type or breed are then
put up against each other to determine the best cock in show for that breed.
Likewise the hens are judged similarly to determine the best hen of a particular
breed or variety of canary. The judges for the show are drawn from some of the
most experienced
breeders in Victoria and are recognized world wide as being among the best
Judges of canaries in Australia.
Bird Sale
In conjunction with the Show there will be a sale of birds which represent in many cases, blood lines of the birds on show. This sale therefore gives access to intending buyers to purchase quality birds direct from a registered breeder at realistic prices, not inflated dealer or pet shop prices. This event is an excellent opportunity to purchase birds for pets or breeding purposes. It is recommended that prospective buyers bring along their own cage to transport their purchased birds from the sale.
