Online barhead show

[Mick Freakley]

Upload your favourite barhead and I will judge them, one bird per member. Closing date for entires is when Coronation street finishes on Monday:D

Don't forget to read your rules as I will be strictly applying them:eek:

[Simon Devaney]

One bird only, decisions decisions:D

do they have to be in or out of a show cage mick ?

[Mick Freakley]

do they have to be in or out of a show cage mick ?

I will judge the bird Mark not the cage, so I really do not mind. I can only judge from your photo so get a good pose, quality of photo's will not be a consideration.

[Mark Gulley]

lol i was just wandering as it gives a standard background therefor showing the bird size etc on an even keel.......really i just like bein awkward lol :)

[NickNack]

Sorry Mick ... I'm out. The local Bar doesn't like photos taken of their drunk patrons. It's too bad too .. cause they are funny to see when they try to perch !

[Mick Freakley]

That is a very good point Mate, rule change, birds must be in a standard BS show cage;) No ballot required:D

You have a new name Ed. The Cruel Pie Man :D

[Ed Freel]

Hi

I have 2 Show Cages with a door in the front
This allows a better shot of the Bird
Can these be used instead of trying to take a Pic through the Bars

This Pic is an example of the Pic you can get with the door open

Sorry Ed, see new rule change, you would have an advantage over those without a photo cage and as Mark says you get a better prospective of the bird in a cage.

You guys should read the rules, we have a learning curve here and if I keep giving you answers at this stage you wont learn. Read the entry and rule change bit and you will know what to do:)

[Darren Mckeown]

Sorry Ed, see new rule change, you would have an advantage over those without a photo cage and as Mark says you get a better prospective of the bird in a cage.

So is the pic to be taken through the bars then ??

No wacky, it's only a bit of fun, I have learned a lesson, I did say one bird, i assumed (wrongly) that it would be seen to mean one picture, no worries, i will judge what is posted and next time will be more explicit with the rule;)

this is a very good bird Ed will do well in the skows

[Allan Fairgrieve]

thanks shaun

[Mick Freakley]

Ok Guys, had a good long look at the entries, and I am going to award the cinnamon hen of Mark Gulleys, a good size hen carrying all the features I like in an exhibition budgie, good size, shoulder, great deapth of mask and great angle on the perch. I have to say there was some very good entries, but not alwayss easy to judge the without them being in a show cage, take Dan L's cinnamon pied, could easily have been a contender, but difficult to see it the bars are breaking due to the front on pose. Thanks for your efforts guys, I hope we can have another soon, where we may have to be a little stricter on the rules;)

Well done Mark, and don't forget them pasties:eek:

[RobHughes]

Congrats Mark ,really nice hen
Keep us updated as she moults out with pics

It will be soon Mark, I think I am going to have to limit it to birds in BS show cages, and with a side on view, maybe 2 images each exhibitor, one showing the bird in profile and the cage it'self and a cropped version of the same image showing the bird in close up. What do you guy's feel.

yes i feel at least 2 images of same bird minimum will give an a better chance for you to judge it, needs to at least have the perch in the pic id say to show deportment etc and at least one good closeup id show an example of what youd like mick to make it easier for us a pic speaks a thousand words lol
