Congratulations to Victoria.

My mate and our club treasurer got 5 best normal blue.

Dont have any pics of his bird but its a real nice bird. Hopefully I can get some more culls from him this year

Thanks for the infor Derek. As uninterested as I thought I was in show birds, I find myself becoming increasingly interested! :)

I started with pets and still love their colours and have kept too many for their colours alone and am anticipating breeding from "my own" girls when they mature. I have recently collected a few really lovely show types and I look forward to seeing the results from breeding the two together. I dont feel I want to concentrate on breeding really big fluffy show birds yet, but certainly bringing up the size of my pets is the challenge I am interested in :) - Totally addictive! :)

Did you check out the photos of last years winners ??

I am back from the Nationals where I was the assistant the the main photographer, I also was the carrier ( via HEARSE ) of birds from holding area to judging area and back again at days end. It was brilliant. We took many photos and I will try and post some tomorrow. Too tired today. Meeting Daz was terrific .....handsome, young looking and taller than I imagined. Great person to get to know :P Got to talk with some of the bigger breeders by introductions. We had Ghalib and Janice Al Nassar there also. Wonderful time :P

Sounds fantastic!!! I'm glad you had a blast and look forward to all of the stories. Sleep well and I hope all of your birds were well and very happy to see you :P

Sounds like a fantastic albeit tiring weekend, bet you have gathered some good info and contacts.

So when does everyone and Daz head back?

 

Extremely jealous Pie!!

Yes we all know about that Gearge. No need to rub it in. :hap:

Just flew in.

 

It was great meeting Kaz and chatting over the last few days. I would have to say that was one of the top things of the nationals.

 

I meet some great people and made some good friends. Talking about Dark Eyed Clears and Recessives with Ghalib Al-Nassar was great. Siting and having a few beers with Derick Poole and Roy Blair from the partnership of Blair and Poole. Discussing the health and wellbeing of the birds with Gary Armstrong. Meeting and talking Budgies with Alister Holmes of Howard and Holmes. There was many many others that I met and will miss.

 

But I am now looking forward to Tasmania 2009.

 

I've been on the road since 5:30am Perth time. It's now 9:16pm Brisbane time. So I'll now go and get some rest.

He's baaaaaaccccckkkkkkkkk!!! Quick everyone, pull up your socks!

 

:hap: welcome back and I'm glad you had a great time!
