March 25, 201015 yr Author Hi Matt, The winner looks like a quality budgie but down a bit in variety. Cheers PT Yes it is , Unfortunately composite varieties are destroying the true variety bird, But you get 60 pts for the bird first , so if you have a cracker then you will be way infront of the field.
March 25, 201015 yr it depends on the judges and personally i like the birds to win based on varierty nice bird though its really a shame and its really sad that a cracker so to speak will win over a more well placed bird of certain perfection in its varierty Hi Matt, The winner looks like a quality budgie but down a bit in variety.

March 29, 201015 yr Author it depends on the judges and personally i like the birds to win based on varierty nice bird though its really a shame and its really sad that a cracker so to speak will win over a more well placed bird of certain perfection in its variety Gb , this is how it has to be , otherwise you could have a pet shop opaline say with perfect markings winning, against a bird of sudstance which wouldnt be right. The only way it can be changed is by changing the Matrix so that composite varieties are not allowed on the show bench , Breeders would still breed them but would not be unable to show. Goodluck though !! getting it through.
March 29, 201015 yr dont get me wrong i dont think the bird should be of small states i still belive it needs to have quality of show bird in size and feather structure just belive that a bird with perfict variaty markings should take out first over one who my have same substance yet is of lesser in its variaty does this make any sence i say this as have seen some beautiful birds miss a win due to one bird being just that bit better feather rather than the smae size birds with just a tad less feather yet perfict for its variaty seems weird to me thats all it depends on the judges and personally i like the birds to win based on varierty nice bird though its really a shame and its really sad that a cracker so to speak will win over a more well placed bird of certain perfection in its variety Gb , this is how it has to be , otherwise you could have a pet shop opaline say with perfect markings winning, against a bird of sudstance which wouldnt be right.

March 29, 201015 yr Author Perfect Sence, If two birds are that close then yes the better marked bird should get the nod , but as you said before sometimes it depends on the judge. Recently at the Hills Annual show , there was a two way split between the judges on which bird was to take out grand champion, one of them had to change their mind to get a result , in this case it is almost a flip of a coin to pick the winner. Thats Birds!! dont get me wrong i dont think the bird should be of small states i still belive it needs to have quality of show bird in size and feather structure just belive that a bird with perfict variaty markings should take out first over one who my have same substance yet is of lesser in its variaty does this make any sence i say this as have seen some beautiful birds miss a win due to one bird being just that bit better feather rather than the smae size birds with just a tad less feather yet perfict for its variaty seems weird to me thats all it depends on the judges and personally i like the birds to win based on varierty nice bird though its really a shame and its really sad that a cracker so to speak will win over a more well placed bird of certain perfection in its variety Gb , this is how it has to be , otherwise you could have a pet shop opaline say with perfect markings winning, against a bird of sudstance which wouldnt be right.
