4th & 5th – Lovely grey hens – very similar.
Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):
It was a pleasure to judge this class. Unfortunately Cage E was placed quite high originally but had to be disqualified as it displayed three forward toes at all times.
First is a hen that went to the front in the beginning and stayed there till the end. She did everything that was asked of her today. She is beautifully presented, got everything you require in a budgerigar, beautiful spots, beautiful mask, she is rock steady and an easy winner.
We did like the second placed bird, a beautiful sky cock bird, but he would not sit on the perches properly. He had a tendency to lie across the perch and we feel he needs about another two weeks to come in and it would make all the difference as he is not feather perfect but still a very strong bird.
Third bird is a Light Green cock who doesn’t like to show but when we did get him on the perch and when he did relax, he has everything you want like directional feather from the cere with lots of blow but not just steady.
From there on there was a lovely Grey with beautiful feather but not quite in condition and then they fell away a bit from there.
