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.

Featuring judging of breeds including Finches, Budgerigars, African Lovebirds, Canaries and Parrots, the Sydney Royal Aviary Bird Show is a celebration of aviculture in Australia.

Exhibitors are given the chance to showcase their birds, promoting and being rewarded for excellence in breeding while meeting and sharing knowledge with other passionate hobbyists.

Alongside the two-day competion, the Aviary Bird and Tame Parrot Display is a not-to-be-missed experience with visitors treated to to an explosion of colour and birdsong every day of the Show.
