MEET THE JUDGES |
 Judge Announcement: Lynne Miller I started breeding budgerigars in 1983 by chance. We built a small aviary for our very shy youngest son, who politely informed us that he was not interest in birds, so Errol and I took it over as there were already birds purchased. It didn’t take long for me to become very interested in breeding the birds that we had purchased from members of the Sandgate Budgerigar Club, In the same year, we joined the club as the partnership of Errol and Lynne Miller and from there we have enjoyed a successful breeding and showing program. Over the years the aviary has been expanded to house 68 breeding cages, 4 large flights, 2 nursery flights and plenty of working room. It wasn’t long before we started to have many wins on the show bench and so the interest in judging the birds became a reality. Sandgate Club called for exhibitors to learn the art of judging, so I put my name forward for the lessons. Needless to say, I passed to become Queensland judge in 1988 and then sat in Sydney in 1998 for the National Exam. I judged the National in Fremantle in 2001 and Toowoomba in 2013. As a partnership, we have won 3 National titles and have had many top placings. We breed Normals, Dominant Pied’s, Cinnamonwings, Greywings, Dilutes, Spangles and Opalines. and we are still working on the Lutino. I have travelled overseas many times and visited some wonderful aviaries and apart from the fabulous birds it’s the friendships abroad and especially here in Australia that keep Budgerigar Fancy a wonderful Hobby. |
