Summation by Neale Love.
Overall a very strong lovely class of birds showing strength and quality.
First (Ian Hunter, Victoria) is an absolute stand out bird. A dominant pied Dark Green cock who does everything that is wanted of him. He was placed in first position and was never headed. Super overall outline and tremendous facial impact.
Second (Henry George, Sth. Qld) is a light green cock with lovely strong shoulder, good directional feathering.
Third (M & D Gearing, West. Aust.) is a Greygreen cock and is owned by Jeff Leong (Victoria) is a Sky hen – a power hen with a lovely top end, strong through the shoulder and style and showed all the time.
Second owned by John Boss (New South Wales) is a Sky cock, with nice width and feather direction, strong shoulder but didn’t perform to his full potential.
Third owned by Kakoschke & Rice (South Australia) is another Sky cock, similar to the second bird but not quite as wide. Top three birds were very high quality budgies. a strong shower but has good shoulder and condition.
Fourth owned by S & T Grech (Victoria) is a Grey cock, lovely directional feather and good shoulder but won’t perch.
