ANNUAL BIRD SHOW & SALE 2012

 

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 Young Bird Championship 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 best cocks and best hens of each variety will then compete for Best Bird in each variety. 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 and potentially show purposes. It is recommended that prospective buyers bring along their own cage to transport their purchased birds from the sale.
