At another national I attended, a few members shipped birds to enter in the show and then auctioned them in the club's silent auction. As long as import rules are being followed, Janet Tipton and I are both up for accepting birds if there are members interested in doing this. Just get in touch with us to make arrangements.
Also, if you'd like to make a donation to the auction such as shipping birds, chicks or eggs directly to a winner (this allows members not able to attend the National a chance to bid, too) please let us know so that we can make a certificate to post at our table during the show.
