Tuesday 3 February 2026 – Monthly Meeting incorporating our AGM.
Our speaker tonight will be Kelwyn Kakoschke on the differences between Normal Spangles and Spangles AOSV. One of the more common difficulties many of our Members are encountering when preparing their birds for showing is how to distinguish between the Normal Spangle and the Spangle AOSV.
Kelwyn has won an amazing 35 ANBC titles with his birds, is a Life Member of the BSSA, and an international judge, so who better to educate us on the variations between the Spangle varieties.
Members are more than welcome to bring along some Spangles for Kelwyn to identify, and let’s hope this educational talk will really clarify the distinctions in this wonderful variety.
Note that our Trading Table will not be available at the February meeting, as our Trading Officer – Wayne Weidenhofer is away interstate. If you require any products prior to our March meeting, please contact Wayne.
Bird sales at Monthly Meetings.
As part of our evening meetings, Members are encouraged to bring along their surplus breeding stock to enable our newer members to have the opportunity to purchase some quality budgerigars.
This will not be a tender process – simply a straight forward buy and sell, commencing at 7.15pm and concluding at the start of the meeting.
Buyers – please bring a cage for your purchases.
Sellers – please no more than 2 birds per show cage, or 6-8 per holding cage and 10% commission is payable to the Club. Please include description of the birds and your name on each cage.
Our hot weather policy applies so if the forecast temperature for the meeting day is 32 or higher, then our bird sale unfortunately will not be held.

Due to iiNet ceasing to have a Domain section in their company, the ANBC had to source a new Domain to carry our website. I wish to advise a new domain has been sourced and the new website for the ANBC is www.anbc.org.au It is now up and running and the old website no longer will activate. Please inform all your zone contacts, clubs etc and have all club websites list the new website.
