Judges Comments:

This year the birds were down of quality compared to recent years, relatively clean head but not the power.

First is Cage F from W Schultz of North & Central Queensland, opaline cinnamon green, good sized cock, with good width mask and spot, did his best work toward the end, fills cage reasonably well, relatively clean when compared to the second bird. He has good height.

Second is Cage J from John Barden of NSW, a  big solid opaline cinnamon grey hen, good mask and spots but not as good in shoulder.

Third is Cage C from R&S Ogden of N&C QLD, solid opaline cinnamon greygreen hen, which showed well until the end.

Fourth is Cage U Craig Barnett of New South Wales, is a very poor performer, cost itself a few places. Not enough cap release.

Fifth is Cage G from R McIntosh of Victoria, is a greygreen hen, which did not like to perch and down in top end.

Cage O from L Woodcock of Western Australia was disqualified for flecking & Cage R from Craig Barnett of New South Wales was disqualified for no primary tail feathers.
