Watering needs to be done four times daily with feeding recommended twice daily.  Cups will be provided. Feed will be supplied for those who wish to use it.  If an exhibitor is unable to meet the watering and feeding schedule; they must have someone else to do it for them.  There will be a book to write who will be taking care of your exhibits and when; please place the caretaker’s name with yours in parenthesis next to it there.  Management reserves the right to ask you to take birds home if proper care is not provided any time during the week; premiums will also be forfeited.
