Roy Aplin at L&SCBS

Prior to judging the inter-club competition, Roy Aplin gave a very interesting and thought provoking talk.

Roy opened his presentation by showing a taxidermied budgerigar that he had made from cinnamon grey green that was his Best Young Bird in Show at the 2007 BS Club Show. He said that in his view, at most shows we seem to be getting away from the ideal. At the 2019 Club Show for instance, the four major winners were four different types of bird with the grey best in show being as close to the ideal as we can get. “As judges, we are all as bad as each other – head quality takes over and we ignore deportment, balance and style etc.” said Roy.

Roy spoke about how proud he was to produce the WBO Ideal in 2008 and if he had the opportunity to revise it, the only change he would male would be to increase the feathering above and over the cere.

Roy added, “I can put down on paper in pencil what I want – I just can’t breed it.”

About buying birds, Roy suggested that spending lots on money does not always work. The challenge is putting two birds together and breeding young better than the original pair and are what you are after. He added, “We select birds to increase feather length and improve depth on mask, so it is hardly surprising that flight and tail feathers become long as well.”
