2023 Class 22 - Spangle

Judges Comments:

A very difficult class as the top five placings are entirely different birds.

First owned by Hedra Kamel from Victoria is a lovely long, super faced Greygreen cock who showed well with lovely width, height above the eye.  Lovely forward push of the cere and good variety and is a clear winner.

Second owned by Peter Thurn from Victoria is a power bird with good blow but unfortunately is heavily suffused through the wings and head but still and outstanding bird.

Third owned by James Matthews from New South Wales has the best top end in the class with massive width and directional feather and good variety.  Tended to slouch across the perch which in turn made him very cobby meaning he lacked distance off the perch.

Fourth owned by the Holmes Family from South Australia is a grey cock with the best variety features but did not show potential.

Fifth owned by Alan Kent from South Queensland is a Greygreen that didn’t show to potential.  When he did,  he does deserve his placing.  He is the best variety bird in the top six but radical in showing.
