Table Shows

A Table Show is conducted at each monthly meeting. It is much more social than it is competitive. We have only two categories - Open/Intermediate - and Novice/Beginner. We do it this way to give the beginners a chance to practice the skills needed for showing budgerigars before they get to the stage of showing at major shows. All months except December are restricted to owner-bred birds with the current and previous years ring. The schedule is available to view or print from the menu on the left.

Our theme of gaining experience is further enhanced by having less experienced members judge the Table Show. A senior member is always on hand to help out by describing the task at hand but the decisions are always left to the allocated judge. There are no wrong decisions!

Each variety is represented once during the year. Annually we hand out certificates to the variety winners and a prize to the overall points score winners.

In December we have all varieties and also classes for any age birds including birds not bred by the exhibitor. This gives people a chance to bring along their stock birds to discuss their relative qualities with other members.

At every meeting the birds are critiqued in a positive manner to assist their owners to decide where to go with them.
