I've been breeding again for 2 seasons and have chosen this as my first show! Talk about a challenge. Was good to catch up and say hello to you Daz at the ABS sale the other night. For those of you who have bought birds from Daz you'll be happy to know he had more good quality birds for sale there. I'm starting to think perhaps he has a machine out the back pumping out quality birds
January 25, 200916 yr Author Thanks Daryl, Well these aren't for sale but will be at the show. Just to show a few of my birds that will be competing Edited January 25, 200916 yr by Daz

She's all grown up now and I've entered her for the show on Sunday. Also entered her Lacewing half sisters but I'm not sure if they'll go as their tails are still a bit short. I have a young Cinnamon Grey cock entered that I'm hoping will show himself okay as he looks very nice showing off in the aviary!

February 1, 200916 yr Congratulations Daz & Darryl! Thanks Pearce and Daz. Had a good day and thanks to Daz I got to steward which was a great experience. Before I left to go to the show this morning I said to my wife that I'd be happy just placing in a strong class. I really didn't expect to win anything. I almost scratched the winning Cinnamon this morning as he'd been pretty unsettled all week, but this morning seemed okay so he got a run after all. A friend of mine said he was very lucky to win as he wouldn't show except for a brief moment. That was enough for the judge and he placed him first. Very lucky. When I got him home he was showing like a champ, just like in the aviary! If only he could do that all the time. Daz's Light Green that came third is a nice bird I wouldn't be surprised to see him go further next time. I hope Daz you got a picture of Henry's Cinnamon hen and the 2 Miller Cinnamon cocks they were unreal. Also the winning Greywing of Millers was enormous! Have to be a good chance at the National if it's in condition come selection time.
February 1, 200916 yr Author Got a photo of all the top birds. Didn't get a photo of my 1sts or 2nds only the Spangle.... never mind. Caboolture's show on Sunday and have already booking in an altered team.
