The cinnamon still has the odd bit of down fluff under her wings Link to comment

A good plan prior to show. No messy soft food prior to show or messy faces do not go down well in a show cage. How much tail does the cinnamon have as it looks shortish there ? Link to comment

The cinny has been spending a lot of time preening over the past couple of days. Unfortunately had she hatched a week earlier she would have been good, I think she's only really borderline at the moment but that's life... Link to comment

Plus we arrived to discover it wasn't a regular show but a tri-club show with over 200 birds and I was in the same class as champion breeders, so I really had no chance after that :rofl: Link to comment

And yes had a chat to a few of the older breeders who'd been doing it forever Edited November 29, 2008 by melbournebudgies Link to comment

Lots of information to collect when going to show's... never know what you might learn. (Says he who still hasn't gone to a show, but its what I've heard) Link to comment

I think that the Normal has a better head .... Suppose after they break their cap you will be able to tell Good Luck in Jan- Link to comment

Even today the cinnamon is starting to look more like a grown up budgie rather than hanging over the perch like a baby Link to comment
