The main reason for benching birds at shows is to let breeders compete with each other. However, there is much more to Budgerigar shows than that. They provide a meeting place for enthusiasts. Some will be on the lookout for new stock, while others look forward to seeing old or new friends who they may meet as little as once a year.
Showing is structured so that newcomers compete with other relatively inexperienced breeders, while still giving them a chance to beat the 'big boys'. The are three status levels: novice, intermediate and open. Progress through the leverls is governed by success.
