North Taranaki Show Report from Phil Hill
Nth Taranaki had a small benching of Budgies unfortunately but it was no less competitive. My good friend Calvin Appleby sent the best bird over from Hastings, a very good Dark Green AA Cock although a little out of condition. I was fortunate enough to pick up best CYCR open with a Spangle Cock with a great head but not much else (small show). Best Novice & CYCR was a big Grey Cock of Maree Wheelers but again lacking condition. My CYCR Yellow- Face Cock was best Y-F in show. Photos were taken but I dont know whats happened to them. It was still a great show despite the low numbers.
