I have four really nice quality SLW. They may not win - but I certainly wouldn't be embarrased by them....it's not like they'd be way our of their league...but I have no idea how to show.
There is a show less than 10 miles from our house on March 3rd. I soooooo want to go!
Here are some random thoughts, questions, and concerns - in no particular order:

Here are some random thoughts, questions, and concerns - in no particular order:
- Do I need my own "show-cages" to show? Waterers? Feeders? If so, where do I buy such things?
- My birds are cared for daily, but they are not my lap pets. The rooster is calm and not aggressive, but I can't just pick him up on a whim and pet him. He tolerates being held, but would prefer to not be. Is being tolerant of hand-handling required? Is it too late to get a year old bird use to that handling?
- My birds feathers are in nice shape (pictures below) and they do not seem to be itchy or scratchy....but how do I make SURE they don't have external parasites? If they do, what do I treat them with?
- What else do I need to know???
- Is it quite political (I have shown horses and dogs for most of my adult life - and it is often very political)
