The London & Southern Counties Budgerigar Society caters for all Budgerigar breeders living in London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Essex, Middlesex, Hampshire inc I.O.W.  and Jersey.  If you are a new fancier or already breeding and exhibiting Budgerigars, you will find great benefit in joining the London & Southern Counties Budgerigar Area Society.

We are one of the largest of the ten Area Societies in the UK, which are affiliated to The Budgerigar Society.

The Society publishes regular newsletters to keep members informed about Society activities and our show patronage is awarded to many societies and shows each year, both within and outside the boundaries of our area. Each member will have the opportunity to win rosettes, medals and diplomas. Linked to our patronage we have Breeder of the Year awards; the 'Chelfers' and 'Blue Riband' awards.

We currently have a number of successful annual events:

• Annual General Meeting With Guest Speaker - March
• Open Day and Sales Show - April (Not being held in 2024)
• Show Area Open Championship Show - July
• Combined Young Stock Show and Specialist & Rares' - October
• Open Day and Sales Show - November (Hosted by Hastings BS)

We provide a Help Line service to members who need to contact one of our experienced members for immediate help and advice.

The Society publishes a list of approved judges who can officiate at any shows organised by local societies.

When you join, you will be issued with your own personal London & Southern (LS) number. This allows you to purchase rings (leg bands) through the Budgerigar Society with this unique number on it. For a fee of £50 it is also possible to purchase your own 'Personalised Ring Number' . You will also be issued with a 'Membership Certificate' which can be framed and displayed in your birdroom.
