A "just for fun" Pet Bird Show is being held! The competition is not for the seasoned parrot exhibitor but truly for the pet enthusiast. Judging will be based primarily on the "Pet" traits of birds: personality, antics, talking, tameness, etc., as well as the condition and overall health will be taken into consideration. Birds will not be removed from their cage at anytime or handled by the judge during the judging process. The show's judge is Kelly Williams. Kelly has kept a variety of pet birds over the past 20 years and is knowledgeable on many species of parrots and other birds. Her outgoing personality and charm will surely add to the day's competition making for a fun time for all.
