Post Hi, sorry if i'm posting in the wrong place, i'm a
newbie! Does anyone know whats the best way to learn about
showing? i've been breeding as a hobby a little while now and we
are going to take this to the next step now, and i'm really keen
to start entering shows, but I don't know much about it! Any help
would be appreciated!
Thanks

The best way to learn about showing is to go to a few shows and see
what its all about, speak to people who show and maybe join breed
clubs.
Ideally you'll already have a breed you like and would like to
show so will go to local shows, see how your birds compare, how
close they are to the breed standards and see if they're ready -
if not, you can see what work you need to put into the breeding.
Maybe enter some eggs first just to get used to entering, what to
expect etc and then move onto showing birds.
The birds will need to be pen trained and washed a few days
before the show, attention to detail getting their legs clean
etc. You also learn about whats expected at shows, like they
aren't fed the morning of the show until after judging, little
things like that
