Prior to 1998 Cage Birds were consistently shown in the Poultry and Pigeon Section.
The first record of Cage Bird Competitions at the Show is as early as 1869 and it is believed they were part of the Show even earlier. In 1971 Cage Birds separated from Poultry and Pigeon before amalgamating again in 1974.
A reduction in entries was behind the amalgamation of the two sections and by 1985 there were no cage birds at the Show. In 1998 they were once given their own section in the first year at Homebush.
The Cage Bird Show now features classes for African lovebirds, parrots, canaries, finches and budgerigars.
LATEST NEWS!
The 2012 Sydney Royal Cage Bird Show saw the introduction of a new competition. The Junior Exhibitor Competition was a great success and the standard of competition was high. Congratulations to all the Juniors!
Entry numbers were doubled this year and we would like to thank all of our exhibitors for their continued support. Parrots were the feature breed for 2012 and the Parrot display provided by The Parrot Society of Australia was excellent and we hope to increase the interaction between the general public and the birds next year.
