What do I need to bring on show day?
- Baby wipes
- Olive oil or mineral oil
- Q-tips
You’ll put your bird in an assigned cage with a waterer provided. Birds will not be fed. Feeding a bird then handling it during showmanship can cause vomiting and digestive issues.
Right before judging, gently clean its head and feet with wipes. You can also apply mineral oil or olive oil with a Q-tip to its comb, wattle and beak. Rub oil onto its legs and feet for extra shine.
