Judges Comments:

A very tough variety to put feather on the bird without losing colour. It was a very hard class to judge.

First in Cage T owned by G Russell from South Queensland, a true black eye. excellent show condition, depth of mask and variety.

Second in Cage M owned by R & C Ogden from North Queensland, excellent shoulder and width across the cere.

Third in Cage C owned by G Russell from South Queensland, another true blackeye, with the required pale cheek patch and variety tail.

Fourth in Cage K from Holmes family from South Australia, nice colour but a little shorter in body.

Fifth in Cage G is J Guinane from North Queensland, has a nice top. Good colour.

A lot of the birds placed lower had body suffusion.
