Bird SHOWS are Bird Competitions and not Bird Fairs, Bird Sales or Bird Marts.   So many people get that wrong and it is confusing the general public, Bird Show Beginners and Experienced people as well!  A lot of time can be spent telling someone where a bird show is and all the while they were looking for a fair or a place where they could get a certain bird. Some, although not all Bird Shows will be sponsored by a bird club that is also having their Bird Fair, a fund raising event for the bird club. ~ Judy B. MWBBE members want to thank all of our contributors, and Great Lakes Avicultural Society for  making MWBBE 's first show possible on Oct. 20, 2007
