NATIONAL CAGED BIRD SHOW

Being my first NCBS show that I've ever attended, I must say this is an event I never want to miss!  This Nationals was an awesome experience.  From the food, having some of my closest friends around, seeing the best birds in the country... what else could you ask for?!  If you've never been to a Nationals before, I strongly urge you to go the next chance you get!

L-R:  Frank Horan, Josh Maple, Roland Dubuc, Leslie Huegerich, Lee Horton, Julia Allen, Josh Perkins & Pat Tucker.  On our way to the NCBS Banquet.
