Judges Comments:
Judged by Gerd Bleicher & Gary Gazzard
We wee very pleased to see so many clean headed birds on the top row.
:Peter Glassenbury & Alan Baxter
First owned by Sheppard Kakoschke & Flanagan Rice (VicSA) is the strongest bird . Strong through the shoulder, lovely depth of mask, shoed well would have looked even better if she was in better condition as a few pin feathers were visible.
Second owned by J Leong (Vic) A Strong hen with good top end, shoulder and markings. A good variety bird.
Third owned by J & J Fletcher (Tas) A good clean cock who sat well, could have had a little more depth of mask but still a strong cock.
Fourth owned by J Leong (Vic) is a big solid hen with good shoulder but just a little behind in the top end but still a lovely bird.
a big strong powerful bird, hard to get this bird to perch and show its attributes but when he did he displayed well. He has a toe issue by having three toes forward occasionally but he does bring one back enough for judging. Mask & top end is exceptional.
Second owned by Craig Buckingham (NSW) Another strong budgie but flecking was an issue and was penalised accordingly.
Third owned by D & G Pymont (NSW) A strong light green, again flecked and also had a toe issue that was not permanent.
