Richard, a four-time world champion and judge with the World Budgerigar Organisation, shared his lifelong passion for budgies and how it all started when he and his brother got their first bird as children. “We were hooked from the moment we brought that little budgie home,” he reminisced. “It’s incredible how such a small bird can spark a lifelong journey.”

Narelle steered the discussion toward Budgie Fest, asking what makes this event so special. Richard highlighted the festival’s mix of community spirit, education, and celebration. “Budgie Fest isn’t just for breeders,” he said. “It’s for anyone curious about these remarkable birds. We’ll have something for everyone—stunning displays, expert talks, and even opportunities for kids to get involved.”

Listeners were particularly drawn to the unique insight Richard offered into the competitive side of budgerigar breeding. “It’s an art form,” he explained, “bringing together genetics, care, and presentation. And Budgie Fest is the perfect place to see the best of the best.”

Finally, Narelle ended the chat by encouraging listeners to attend Budgie Fest, calling it “a one-of-a-kind event that brings the joy of budgies to the heart of our community.” To that end, the conversation left the audience excited and ready to flock to the festival.
