Bob Wilson of Cincinnati, Ohio, a judge with the Blue Chip Exhibition Budgerigar Society and one of the club’s founding members agrees. “You should align yourself with an experienced exhibitor in a bird club, someone who can act as your mentor,” he suggests. “A lot of the more experienced breeders are very gracious people and will be more than happy to help you out — as long as you’re prepared to sit and listen, and you are humble enough to take some of the advice they give you.”You can also learn a lot by volunteering to assist the judges at the shows. “See if you can steward for the judges, which may mean moving the cages around at the show, helping pin the place ribbons on the cages and things like that,” Wilson says. “You can see within a short period what the judge typically looks for in the birds, and that’s an incredible way for people to learn. But if you’re sitting in the back of the hall or even in the front row, you may not see that a bird has some poor markings, you won’t be able to see its faults, and you’ll be less aware of what judges look for in the birds.
