Stan Watson Show 2025
Budgerigar Society of South Australia Stan Watson Show Results 4 May 2025. The BSSA Stan Watson Breeder’s Show was managed seamlessly by George England. A number of experienced floor judges assisted throughout the day, with James Bader appointed as the Major Awards Judge.
Congratulations to Shiralee Reardon, whose standout Opaline Grey Hen claimed top honours. As James noted, “You didn’t need to be a judge to pick the best bird in the hall today.” A well-deserved win, and two Grand Champions for Shiralee in 2025, with two different birds so far – congratulations!
Well done also to Jane Kelb and Dave Miller, who benched the Champions in the Intermediate and Novice sections respectively—great recognition for their dedication and developing stock. And to Pauline Lampre, who accumulated the most Novice points on the day.
With over 250 young birds benched, the show delivered an outstanding turnout, especially impressive given that several regular exhibitors were unable to attend this year.
