Once show day approaches, make sure the show cages are in tip top
condition and sparkling. It would be a pity to have a dirty show cage
after all the work that has been put into preparing the birds for a
show. Make sure the perches are clean and are in the correct position.
Ensure that the perches are not loose and are firmly attached to the
show cage. A loose fitting perch can unsettle a Border in the show cage
and the bird will loose confidence and not stand at the correct
position. It is also important to not have the perches too smooth. If
the perch is smooth, the bird may have difficulty and not grip tightly
enough and lose position. It is advisable, to use a small blade to
roughen the perch to assist the bird.
Read the show schedule carefully and enter your birds in their correct classes. If you are unfamiliar with the classes, get the help of an experienced breeder in the club to assist you. They will only be too willing to help. Send your entries off in plenty of time so that you get your show cage stickers back well before the day of the show.
On the day of the show, allow plenty of time for the birds to eat and drink before they are caged. They will now be confident to jump into the show cage with minimal assistance from the breeder. Check that each bird has been placed in its correct class and the show cage sticker has been placed in the correct position on the show cage. Make sure the perches are clean and tight. Don’t forget your drinkers and bring along some fresh green food to feed your birds after the judging has been completed and the show is open to the public.
If the club allows exhibitors to view the judging, take the opportunity to stay and watch. it is a very valuable learning experience as you can see your birds as they are being judged and watch how they perform. You will also learn about the judging process and can compare and gauge your birds against those of your friends and other exhibitors. The Border Fancy Canary Club of Victoria encourages breeders to stay and view the judging at all of its shows. The judge will usually only has a limited time to assess each bird.
