Bird Shows are a fun way to show off your special pet. Here’s everything you need to know about these events.
What Are Bird Shows?
Bird shows are much like dog shows or pageants. They showcase your bird’s beauty, unique physical qualities, impressive stature, or rarity. These competitions are held in different venues from large arenas to outdoor farms, and can offer cash prizes for the bird that measures up.How Do I Enter?
Be sure to check requirements for entry. You must have the right breed for a particular event and need to make certain it will benefit the competition. This increases your chances of getting a spot. Many Bird Shows have lists of entry requirements, easy to read and follow. A good way to find Bird Shows is to visit your pet store and ask a bird specialist.Preparing for The Bid Day
To prepare for Bird Shows, your pet needs a vet visit. This will ensure its top health condition, important for winning a coveted title. Take note of your bird’s proportions according to its species. Groom your bird well by brushing its feathers and cleaning talons so it will appear physically attractive. With rare species, like the Red-tailed Cockatoo, you’ll want to show off its unique tail color, displaying it in the best light. Be sure there’s an even color distribution throughout other body parts, which any good judge will notice. Place your bird in a cage before show time to avoid ruffled feathers and dirty claws.
