Budgies In The Bool 2026

Budgies in the Bool Auction 2026

Welcome to the 2026 “Budgies in the Bool Auction” — the little auction that packs a big punch. Hosted in Warrnambool as part of a full weekend of budgie fraternity and friendship, our goal is simple: start early, run a short auction, and get everyone back to their families (so we’re allowed to do it again next year!).

Quality birds. Proven names. Something for everyone.

This catalogue brings together a standout line-up of breeders, including ANBC Hall of Fame names and a strong contingent of local Victorian exhibitors — from Champion-status winners to up-and-coming fanciers worth watching. Whether you’re chasing a future show prospect, building depth in your breeding team, or simply looking for a quality addition, this is a budgerigar auction designed to cater for all levels of the hobby.

Phone bidding & travel tips

Can’t make it in person? Pet transporters will be available to take phone bids, so get in early and book your spot. If you’re travelling to Warrnambool, there are plenty of accommodation options — and we recommend checking out Lady Bay Resort, where we’ll be holding our Saturday night function. If you plan to join us for dinner, please let the organisers know so we can lock in numbers.

Why you should be there

Budgies in the Bool has built a reputation for being a friendly, efficient, and quality-focused event — a weekend where good birds change hands, knowledge gets shared, and mateship is front and centre. Make the trip, bring a friend, and enjoy an auction weekend that delivers every year.

See you in Warrnambool!
