Abstract
I have many happy memories
when it comes to showing birds as a
junior member of a bird club and
many of these memories are clue to
the support of the adult members of
the local club at the time.
I must have been about 13 years
old when the first bird I had ever
shown was an English Fantail pigeon
and, as this was not a quality bird, it
won no prizes. But it wasn't long
before I was introduced further to
the world of showing birds by the
adult members of the local club. The
memory of their attentiveness and
interest to my best friend , my sister,
along with myself, and on occasion a
few of our other friends, in helping
us grow and learn more about birds is
still with me today.
