12 x 1st place

Best Young Bird with my white DF sp cock son of the yellow Df above and full sister to the sky cinn sp below, this bird is only 4 months old

So as you can all see I had a great day.

Congratulations! So many birds entered and SO many awards! Well done!

Thanks CaspersRose

Wonderful result !!!!!!!! Time to build a trophy shelf buddy

Well deserved, lovely birds.

Thanks Kaz I mentioned that to Greg last night and he kind of agreed with a smirk on his face but I think he is proud of our win.

Thanks Richo i can't believe how nice my birds have turned out.

Everyone at the show were admiring the Yellow Df Sp and his sibblings and I was getting congratulations of people before they even won anything.

Fantastic result Splat- You Go Girl! :parrot:

Thanks Renee I am totally on cloud nine at the moment

Very Well done Splat.. It's a great feeling isn't it. It makes you want to go out and really look after the birds so they will be fit for the next show.

The key to good success on the bench is to have health fit birds.

 

Now about that Trophy shelf, is that two levels or three

splat im so happy for you your birds are so beautiful and sit so lovley on their perch

i went to my first show the other day for long long time

birds standeds have changed so much

Congratulations and well done on your success Splat. I reckon the Spangle Cinnamon Sky hen looks like she would love a holiday in SE QLD for about 6 months

Well done on your great results!!! Good stuff!

That's great Splat- great for Gordon Chandler to win the Diploma, nearly 12 months to the day his friend and breeding partner Roy McDermott passed away.

Excellent job splat. I knew this big bloke would win.

 

 

I love this bird also.

She sure does Jimmy, she has half brother to the yellow DF SP and his daughter the full sister to the white DF and sky cinn sp and the full sister to the mother of the these young birds meaning the wife of the yellow DF SP.

I am pleased for him as it was a nice bird and that is sad about his friend well the win might perk him up :)Thanks every one yep I am over the moon, couldn't have a better day.Planning on going to Albury now as a couple of Albury members ask me to go.

I have dicided against showing in Albury because I want to show at my club in fortnight and I believe it would be too much for them specially the white double factor because he was only born on the 2nd November.

Do you all agree would like your thoughts on it.

Seeing as you are showing the same team,by the look of it.I would,give Albury a miss & save them for

your own show Splat.

Thanks Macka that's what I thought.

I'll second that. With the extra week to recover they should be looking in great shape for your club show.
