Very interesting recent posts on the changing look of champion budgies, what is desirable today compared to only a few years ago. Reminds me of my time at the conn where we were taught that the way Beethoven played his own sonata's would be unacceptable today!!! i still have trouble getting my head around that one... [scratching head]

Yeah I was told that the way we play Chopin today would have horrified Chopin himself

I just wish I could try and play choplin or Beethoven... Its all good, maybe one day.

Feather dusters don't actually work as well as woollen ones.

This thread needs to be moved,nothing to do with budgie. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I think its original topic was about budgies and whether or not the people that originally showed budgies would be happy with where the fancy has gone... but it got sidetracked with its side comment about beethoven...

Yeah ... and about Chopstick. Do you reckon a dalmation would make a nice duster?

Bird fashions do change and, staying off topic, I breed Siamese fighters. Their judges find acceptable one year what they don't the next.

Do you think there should be a new category of judging based soley on the budgie's musical ability? My budgie, Duns, is the repository of the music in my family. He teaches the cockatiels their songs. You can tell when they've learnt a tune from him. They whistle it in a genteel sort of way at first, the way he does. It changes after they've put their own gloss on it. I'd love to enter Duns in the singing budgie category - he'd knock Kylie right off her perch. :rofl:
