Judges comments on class:

Outstanding class of Light Greens with quality down to 10th

1. Outstanding bird with size/feather direction. Length of feather. Sort tail feather but overall to strong for the rest of the others. Congratulations to the winner.
2. Probably the most unlucky light green to come to the Nationals. An outstanding bird, perhaps requiring a bigger spot to have more impact. Once again good feather direction, shape, and presents beatifically.
3. Powerful cock with major strength in body and solder. Good feather direction perhaps requiring more release of feather.
4. Lovely big strong hen. Just the cocks ahead are too strong.

Rest of the birds on top row are fairly even. Bird in 8th could have placed higher in better condition.

Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):

This is an outstanding class of birds. Top row are of very high quality.
Winner is an absolute standout. He has everything you can ask for. The tail is not 100% and we did penalise him for that but he is too strong - a magnificent budgie that we all aspire to breed. Congratulations to the winner.
The second placed bird is the unluckiest green you will ever see at a national having met the first place getter today. It is another outstanding bird as well with great shape and everything you could ask for. Perhaps his spots could be a fraction bigger and have a bit more impact but unfortunately he met something out of the ordinary today.
The third bird is another powerful bird which is strong in the body and shoulder, got good feather and nice wide head but what he doesn’t have which the first two have is the release of feather at the top which would make him look much more powerful.
The fourth bird is a lovely hen but the only thing we can criticise her is when she relaxes she drops the tail slightly but a really strong hen.
The birds on the top row we would all be lucky to have them they are just lovely birds. Fairly even from there down except for maybe the last two.
