FEATURE By now any caring, reasonable person


must have realised that our poor exhibition budgie is in deep trouble. Blindly following the European standards is definitely not the way to go. The decent, ethical budgie breeders of Australia, the vast majority, need to stand up and say “enough is enough!” Clearly, the time has come to finesse the modern show budgerigar; to keep the style and the beauty of


the bird, but at the same time to pull back from extremes which make the lives of our birds miserable. Just like the Norwich Canary Breeders did 51 YEARS AGO! Perhaps it is time to return to breeding budgies to our own Australian Standards. To resurrect the fabulous Australian colour of yesteryear and to create a truly balanced bird.
