ANTICIPATION CONTINUES TO BUILD AS WE MOVE TOWARDS TWO MAJOR ANNUAL EVENTS!
The season continues to gather strong momentum, with eight well-supported Diploma Shows held alongside a highly successful Adult Bird State Championship event. Combined with an earlier auction and another upcoming in Geelong, it has certainly been a busy and productive period for the Victorian budgerigar community.
As the year progresses, we are fast approaching the premier event on the Victorian calendar — the BCV Young Bird State Championship Show. Members should now be using this time wisely to identify their best potential entries, strengthening their respective club teams and aiming for ultimate success.
We wish all participating BCV members the very best of luck in the Shield Competition — may the best team win.
Selection for the BCV National Team will once again be fiercely contested, reflecting the high standard within Victoria. For those who earn a place, congratulations — it is both an honour and a privilege to represent such a strong state.
We look forward to seeing Victoria compete strongly on the Gold Coast at the 50th Anniversary Trill™ Expert ANBC National Championship Show in Southport, Queensland.

VICTORIA REIGNS SUPREME ONCE AGAIN ON NATIONAL STAGE!
The ANBC National Championship Show has concluded once again in its 49th year of competition. The Victorian team proved victorious at the event and brought home the ANBC Shield for another year, enabling us to etch our name onto a plaque once more. Congratulations to our members who were fortunate enough to take out 9 of the 28 Logies on offer and to those who had birds included as part of our winning team.
A monumentous achievement occurred over the course of the weekend with one of our very own member/s gaining induction into the ANBC Hall of Fame for Breeder Excellence. Congratulations to the long standing Rowe Brothers partnership - John, Greg & David who collected their elusive 7th ANBC National Logie and wrote their name into the history books, alongside other illustrious breeders within the fancy.
Well done and congratulations to New South Wales who finished in 2nd place and also to South Queensland who managed to round out the top three State/Zone placings.
Special mention must go to all the organisers and helpers up in Cairns from the North Queensland Budgerigar Zone who hosted and staged another fantastic annual event in a terrific venue. The weekend of activities was a huge success, bringing together like minded enthusiasts from across the country. It was also great to see so many from other States and Zones lending assistance across a range of roles to help spread the workload. With planning already well underway, everyone is sure to be looking forward to the 50th Anniversary ANBC National Championship Show up on the Gold Coast at Mantra Sharks and hosted by the South Queensland Budgerigar Breeders Assoc Inc. in 2026.
