Judges comments on class:

1. Grey Green cock – very good budgie. Size, strength, showed. Directional feather blow. Congratulations.
2. Cock – slightly tubular in shape with enormous blow. Good variety.
3. Similar style of bird to first – wouldn’t relax and show.
4. Spangle – Good budgie – heavily penalised for variety.

Judges comments (recorded by Carol Gough):

First - what a budgie and an easy winner. It has everything you could ask for – it has body, it has size, good shoulder, width, feather direction and an easy winner. Congratulations to the winner as you are doing a great job.
Second bird is another really good bird but hasn’t got the strength through the shoulder, or width across the front but has a lot of blow. When we first got up here we thought he was going to win until we spotted the eventual winner.
Third is not unlike the first bird in shape, body, shoulder and width but he really did not want to show us too much. Once he let it go but he let himself down.
Fourth has good substance too but he is a two variety bird so subsequently we penalised it very hard. Being Spangle we really did penalise it really hard.
From there on, the birds did taper off a little bit but all the birds on the top row still have all the features you are looking for so whoever is breeding them is doing a good job.
