Hi Sco-tie, Over all I would say, except for the last one, that the mask and spots would need to be better.

 

Here are some of my birds.. As they are Spangles the spots are different.. The masks are getting to a good length but need to be better. The colouring is good. The clearbody hen is very nice.

 

Don't know about crests but the mask is lacking.

 

The yellowface also needs improvement in the mask..

 

 

 

As you can see the spots are poor but the masks are getting there. These birds range between 4 to 6 months so hopefully in the next moult I might see some inprovement.

 

Your last one, Dominent Pied Skyblue Cock, has a great mask and spots but is lacking in stance. His flights are too long and he has a hinged tail.

 

My sugestion is to find a club nearby and to go along to shows and see what is being benched.

 

You can find some clubs though

The Budgerigar Council of South Australia

 

Also remember that in May the country is coming to hold . the Nationals

Hi Sco-tie, my advise to anyone who wants to know how their birds would rate, would be to go along to a budgerigar show. That would put things very much into perspective very fast. It is really hard to rate birds where a whole photo isn't shown and they are not sitting on a perch (preferably in a show cage).

 

If you think you have show standard birds, most clubs are inexpensive to join and only charge AUD$0.50 to enter each bird.

 

I don't like to answer these posts as most people asking think their birds are show standard, and usually that is not the case.

 

None of the birds you have shown are sitting correctly to be judged and the last one looks like it has a feather problem (as in overlength, drooping etc)
