BCV ADULT BIRD STATE CHAMPIONSHIP - SHIELD COMPETITION A HUGE SUCCESS!
One of our three major State Shows has been run and won recently with a great turnout of teams and exhibitors in attendance. Bird numbers were fantastic with just under 900 exhibits gracing the benches in what was a very impressive display of top quality exhibition budgerigars.
Riverina were successful this year in securing their maiden Adult Shield win fielding a strong team of birds with good depth throughout all varieties and winning an amazing 9 out of 28 point scoring classes on offer. This wrestled momentum away from Melton and especially United who have been the only other two clubs to have taken out the Adult Shield over the past 30 odd years. Congratulations to United and South West Victoria on rounding out the top three placings. Many thanks to all who came along and especially those who assisted in various roles across the day to make the show what it is. Another great event for the hobby in Victoria.
Remaining events for the month of March include the Riverina, United, Border District & Ballarat clubs holding their Annual Diploma Shows. All great events spread in various geographical areas across the State. Be sure to get along to these to show your support. Flyers and further information for these shows can be found below.

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.
