Aviary
The first record of aviary birds being exhibited at the Sydney Royal Easter Show was in 1869 and more than 150 years on, our feathered friends remain a favourite for Show-goers.
Did you know that birds are among the top three most popular pets in the world? They include the Australian Budgerigar which was introduced to Europe in the 1800's by English voyagers travelling home from Australia by ship.
At the Sydney Royal Easter Show the Aviary Bird display is an explosion of colour and birdsong every day of the Show, with hundreds of species on display including the always popular tame Parrots.
For Exhibitors, the two-day competition is an opportunity to showcase Australian Aviculture and excellence in breeding, while competing for coveted Sydney Royal competition success.
