🐦💙 THE SECRET’S OUT… INTRODUCING MORETON’S PET BUDGERIGAR CLASS!
Does your child have a pet budgie they’re incredibly proud of?
Maybe it talks. Maybe it whistles. Maybe it sits on their shoulder. Maybe it’s simply their little best mate. 💙
Well, on Sunday 13 September, we want them to bring their budgie along and be part of the Moreton Spring Show!
For the first time, we’re introducing a PET BUDGERIGAR CLASS especially for young budgie lovers.
No showing experience needed. This one is all about the kids, their pets and having a go. 🐦
💙 WHO CAN ENTER?
🐦 Children up to 16 years of age
🐦 Any age or variety of budgerigar
🐦 No ring required
🐦 No show cage required — a suitable cage from home is perfectly fine
🐦 Maximum 2 budgies per child and 2 per cage
🐦 The child must be present with their budgie
🎉 ENTRY IS FREE!
It doesn’t need to be a champion.
It doesn’t even need to be a show budgie.
💙 It just needs to be THEIR budgie.
🏅 A SPECIAL MORNING FOR EVERY CHILD
This class is about giving kids their moment — the chance to proudly show off their much-loved budgie and experience the excitement of being part of a real budgerigar show.
Every child taking part will receive their own participation certificate and special gift bag to take home. 💙
⏰ ON THE MORNING
Please bring your budgie along between 8:30am and 9:30am.
One of our Moreton members will welcome you on arrival and show you where to go.
Judging will begin shortly after 9:30am, with presentations held immediately after judging concludes. 🏅
Once presentations are finished, children are free to take their budgies home — or families are very welcome to stay a little longer and watch the exhibition budgerigar judging take place and experience a little more of what our hobby is all about. 🐦💙
For the wellbeing of all birds attending, please only bring budgies that are healthy and showing no signs of illness.

📩 HOW TO ENTER
Pre-entry is essential so we can have everything ready for our young participants on the morning.
A parent or guardian simply needs to send the Moreton Budgerigar Association Inc. page a private Messenger message with:
🔹 Child’s first name
🔹 Child’s age
🔹 Number of budgies being entered

⏰ ENTRIES CLOSE MIDNIGHT FRIDAY 11 SEPTEMBER 2026
No Pet Budgerigar Class entries will be taken on the morning, but everyone is welcome to come along and watch.
💙🐦 BECAUSE THIS IS WHERE IT STARTS.
Sometimes, all it takes is one child who absolutely loves their pet budgie.
And we think that’s something worth celebrating.
