WAXBILLS AND AUSTRALIAN FINCHES The Waxbill Finch Society had the pleasure of staging both the Waxbill and Australian Finch sections at the recent National Exhibition at Stafford, entries were slightly up on last year
and the standard of all the birds benched was very high, giving the judges, Gerhard Hoffman (Waxbills) and Bob Bradbury (Australians) a very tough job of choosing the best in each section. Gerhard finally decided on R Storey’s beautiful current year owner bred Black Cheeked Waxbill as best in the Waxbill section. Bob went for G Nancarrow’s stunning Red Headed Parrot Finch, again current year owner bred for Best Australian, with a lot of people commenting on the fact this was one of the best examples they had seen for many years.
It was nice to see a wide variety of birds on the bench with usual Silverbills, Blue Caps etc., but also Violet Ears, Peters Twinspots and rarities like Vinaceous Firefinch and the beautiful Yellow Bellied Waxbill, what was sad and a sign of the times was the lack of many species once classed as common seed eaters. The Australian section had the usual selection but also a very nice Black Bellied Crimson Finch.
