Showing
Why fit in when you can stand out? Fitting in isn't unique, it's blending in with everyone around you. When you fit in you are like a blank page in the showing world. You want you and your animal to look professional and to look like a bright yet dark color on the blank page.

My mom and I were waiting for about an hour before it was my turn. But then I finally went in for showmanship. I felt like I was standing waiting for my turn forever.

I didn't place but I told myself that I have next year and that I am going to study a lot beforehand. Next it was time to show my birds my mom and I carried the birds to the cages in the show ring and the judge began to work. It didn't take as long as showmanship, I was happy about that. The judge asked a few questions about my birds, he asked where I bought them from, how old they were, and what breed they were. He also told me that Buddy, the crooked beaked …show more content…

So I told him that we weren't getting them and a week later we brought them home he didn't even know until about a week later when he actually looked at
