🌍 International Guest Confirmed: Ali Bouresli!
We’re thrilled to announce that Ali Bouresli from Kuwait has been invited to attend the 2026 Nationals! This is a huge milestone for the Australian budgerigar community and will bring a wealth of international experience and knowledge to our event. Ali is one of the world’s leading budgerigar figures.
Livestream Commentary
Ali will also join the judging livestream, offering expert insights during the event.
You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to chat birds with Ali throughout the weekend – a rare chance to learn from a global leader in the hobby!
🖼️ Be Part of the 50-Year Celebration
To mark this incredible 50-year milestone, we’re compiling a Wall of Photos & Memorabilia. This display will take patrons on a visual journey through the history of the Nationals.
If you have old photos, stories, or budgie-related memorabilia, we’d love to hear from you. We’ll begin collecting items in the New Year, so keep an eye out for our call for contributions!
🐦 Let’s Make the 2026 Nationals Unforgettable
The SQBBA is working hard to ensure the 50th National Show is not only a celebration of where we’ve come from but also a launchpad into the future of our beloved hobby. With international guests, engaging events, and a weekend full of learning and connection, this is shaping up to be a Nationals like no other.
