Judges Comments:
Judged by Gerd Bleicher & Kevin O’Callaghan
Gerd stated that the speciality in Clearbodies is the variety markings and as per all shows the top half are fat better than the lower placed birds.
First owned by J & W Weidenhofer (Sth Aust) is a quality Greygreen cock who has good size and balance, coupled with a good top end, deep mask, good spot size and directional feathering. He is good for the variety and a worthy winner.
Second owned by Alan Rowe (Victoria)is a Clearbody Greygreen, excellent size, length and shape. Good spots, directional feathering and variety. More shoulder length wanted.

This class was a mixed bag for variety which requires two main features. A clear body which means yellow or white and wings to have black markings until the flights.
First owned by Tim Gleeson (NSW) is a super bird with strength right through the body. Also has great facial features and a powerful strong top end
Second owned by John Guinane (QN&CZ) has a lovely strong top end and showed well. Good facial features and good variety but unfortunately, he came up against a very strong budgie which won the class.
Third owned by J Orlandi Ennis (VictoriaVic) is an Opaline Greygreen Cock. In total a good bird in size, head and balance. Good mask and spots. Variety flights lighter are wanted, and it has slight flecking.
Fourth owned by Jeff Luong (Victoria) is an Opaline Greygreen Hen and is a well balanced bird with the major features but slightly behind the top three placed birds.
has reasonably good variety, is a strong bird with good mask and spots.
