I picked up some tips there. Three to four days to show I start the team on Vetafarm SPARK ELECTROVET to start increasing their stamina, energey and help them cope with the stress. They will be on this after the show to bring them dowm. I continue to spray. Day before the show. Assessment of the birds and the show cages. Any repairs on both are done. The Cages can not be marked in any way so any scratches are dealt with. Birds are hand washed again and any pin feathers are gently attended to with a clean tooth brush. Flight, Vent and tail feathers are checked. After the birds are dried, clean white caps have baby powder applied and excess is dusted off. Training is the show cages continue in the morning only. As I have only a few Show cages I don't want to reclean the cages again till after the show. Any bird that doesn't meet my required standard should be left at home. daz, What is the Baby powder for????? Link to comment

No good on the yellow faces or green series birds. Link to comment
