77th Annual National Bird Show
"Your Show of Shows"
The National Bird Show (NBS) is very excited to introduce you to our 2025 Division Judges. We would like to thank our Affiliated Specialty Clubs for selecting very talented experienced knowledgeable accredited judges from across the globe. We will have over half of the judges this year from outside of the United States. These judges are excited to get to judge our American champs in Knoxville, Tennessee. It will be NBS’s pleasure to host a show where these judges can get a glimpse at what American breeders are bring out of their aviaries. We also have a few judges from America. In review of these judges I am sure you will see they are seasoned judges, selected for their experience and insight, and will be expecting exhibitors to show the best from their bird room. While you are at the show take time to visit with our judges and share your experiences. The National Bird Show’s logo says it all, “YOUR show of shows”. The United States of American has some excellent quality breeders, exhibitors, and birds. National Bird Show can’t wait to award you, as a small acknowledgment of your desire to breed and present the best in American birds.
