January 2026 Update

In a historic first for an ANBC National Show, SQBBA is proud to present the first Father & Son Judges to officiate together at an ANBC National Championship Show.

The appointed judges for the 2026 National are:

• Richard Miller – International Judge (United Kingdom)
• Malcolm Randall (Victoria)
• Rob Randall (Victoria)
• Neale R Love (South Queensland)

Each of these highly respected judges has been entrusted with the significant honour and responsibility of adjudicating the finest budgerigars Australia has to offer. Their collective knowledge, experience, and dedication to the highest standards of the fancy will ensure a fair, professional, and memorable championship.

As preparations continue, anticipation is building for what promises to be a landmark celebration of achievement, dedication, and passion from fanciers across all Zones. The 50th ANBC National Championship Show will truly reflect the strength and unity of Australia’s budgerigar community.

We encourage all fanciers to mark their calendars and join us on the Gold Coast for what is set to be an unforgettable occasion.

September 2025 Update

As we gear up for the 50th National Show, the SQBBA National Show Committee is excited to share some major developments that will make the 2026 Nationals a truly unmissable weekend for all budgerigar enthusiasts!

🌍 Second 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. Coupled with the previously announced appointment of Richard Miller as a judge, the Nationals will now host two of the world’s leading budgerigar figures.

🎤 Unmissable Events

Saturday Night Presentations
• Ali Bouresli will give a keynote talk, similar to the one he presented at the World Budgerigar Organisation Show earlier this year.
• Richard Miller will also take the stage, making Saturday evening a true highlight of the weekend.
• Friday Night – On the Perch Special
We’re switching things up! This year’s On the Perch will feature Ali Bouresli and Richard Miller – a change from our usual TV personalities to budgerigar royalty.

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 and Richard throughout the weekend – a rare chance to learn from global leaders 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.
