Budgerigars on Tribe FM’s The Generation Gap

The Budgerigar Council of South Australia (BCSA) took to the airwaves recently as BCSA President Troy Holmes joined Trevor Garard on The Generation Gap program on Tribe FM 91.1. The engaging interview offered listeners a fascinating insight into the vibrant world of budgerigar breeding, exhibiting, and community involvement across South Australia. The interview also focuses on the excitement of Budgie Fest 2025.

During the conversation, Troy discussed the role of the BCSA, from promoting responsible aviculture practices to nurturing the next generation of breeders. Listeners heard how the organisation supports its members through educational programs, junior initiatives, and state and national shows that highlight the beauty and diversity of Australian-bred budgerigars.

The chat also explored the social side of the hobby — how budgerigar clubs bring people together, create lifelong friendships, and provide opportunities for families to connect through a shared passion for birds. As Troy explained, it’s not just about competition; it’s about community, conservation, and celebrating excellence in aviculture.

The interview is now available for replay, offering a chance to hear firsthand how the BCSA continues to grow its reach and inspire enthusiasm for budgerigars across the state.
