Before the show

The show preporation starts already when the chicks are in the nest boxes. I try to get them as calm as possible. The show team is sorted out in July and are transfered from the flights to a smaller cage, where I can have a better look at them. They are now beeing trained in Show cages regulary.
I like to put in a young bird together with an experinced one. I think that the young will learn from the older. I start to spray my birds a couple of weeks before the show using just hot water. I will pull the spots of seven weeks before the show to be sure that they will be there when the show comes.

After the show

My birds always goes back to a smaller cage coming home from a show, never back to the flight. They need a little bit of rest and a chance to feed properly. At this moment I give millet sprays and softfood the showbirds. If there is more shows coming up I try to get as long as possible between the shows for the bird. That means that I will try not to bring the same bird out two weeks in a rowe. If I know that I have more than one important show during the season, I have to do some kind of schedule for the birds so that I dont bring them out to offently.
