97.0. "What's the procedures in showing birds?" by MPGS::TAI (no longer looking for Mr. Rightbird) Thu Jan 19 1989 09:16

    Well, I finally did it.  I bought the 'perfect' yellow nape.  
    He's under 2 years, friendly, calm and beautiful coloring!
    We'll be bringing him home tonight.  The breeder/dealer we bought 
    him from said he has very good show qualities.
    
    In my long search for this bird I never considered showing it.
    Mostly because I don't know anything about showing birds.
    Which comes to my questions....what are the standard operating
    procedures for showing a bird??  Is there a particular size of
    cage that the bird has to be in?  How do I find out about shows
    and how to enter?
    
    I have not made a decision on whether or not I want to do this,
    but I am interested in finding out what the necessary procedures 
    are first before I make any decisions.
    
    Thanks for any responses!

    There are MANY requirements, restrictions, classes etc.. for
    showing birds.  Your best bet is to join your local Cage Bird
    Association.  They probably sponser one or two of the shows
    in your area.  That is where you want to get your information.
