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.”
