Summation by Errol Miller.
A very strong class of birds with varying degrees of suffusion.
First (Henry George, (Sth. Qld) stands well and shows well, with a nice face, good mask and nice length of feather
Second (D & S Brooks, North & Central Qld) stands well, showed well, nice tucked in beak.
Third (B Hunt, Victoria) showed nice face and good colour.
quality all the way through and a pleasure to judge. We couldn’t fault any of them. When we first stood back to view the birds we selected Cage D owned by Henry George (South Queensland) as it is an awesome bird but just would not show.
First owned by G O’Connor (New South Wales) is a super strong Yellow cock bird with outstanding quality, good direction of feather and when releases its feathers, he picks himself.
Second owned by Peter Thurn (Victoria) is a White hen, magnificent shoulder width and a good shower.
Third owned by Ian Schneider (Q’land North & Central Zone) is another super quality hen and very powerful through the shoulder.
Fourth owned by J Smith (Tasmania) is a very nice Yellow but lacked a little in condition.
