WELCOME…..
... to the web site of the GREAT WESTERN BUDGERIGAR SOCIETY, INC. The Great Western Budgerigar Society is one of the largest bird clubs solely interested in improving the breeding, handling, care, and exhibition of the English Budgerigar. Its goal is to exchange and distribute information both scientific and practical, which will increase the knowledge and skill of its members towards these goals.
This
organization consistently stages the largest all-Budgie show
in the nation. It was the host of the 1982 All American held
aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. Almost 1300
birds were staged at this event making it the largest All
American in recent history. It was again the host of the prestige
show of the American Budgerigar Society, the 2001 All America,
held in Claremont, California, in November 2001. This show
was the largest all-Budgie show in the United States with
an entry of over 600 birds.
Two
top quality shows are scheduled for each show season.
The first is the Harlan Flora Memorial
Spring Classic in July held at the First Lutheran Church, 1323
Magnolia Avenue, Monrovia, CA 91016.
The second and largest show , the Great Western
Round-Up, will be held in November at a
Hall, TBA.
This year we celebrate over 55 years of Round-Up's and
have gone all out to present a show worth winning.
This prestigious show brings the show season to a close
with a super raffle, fantastic banquet, and a grand array of
awards. We hope
you will join us at this super celebration!
Meetings
are held the second Wednesday of every odd month at the
First Lutheran Church, 1323 Magnolia Avenue, Monrovia, CA
91016. Unique programs of interest to the Budgerigar
fancier are presented. The meetings include a super raffle
of bird related items and frequently an exhibition Budgerigar
or two.
Visitors
are always welcome and should you wish to become a member,
a membership application may be found elsewhere on our web
site. Members receive our monthly Great Western Budgerigar
Society Bulletin which contains articles, show dates, show
winners, and items of interest to the Budgerigar breeder.
