Abstract
The 31st National Cage Bird Show was held at the Hacienda Hotel in El Segundo, California, November 15-18, 1979. There were 1588 birds entered under twelve divisions: 1147 canaries (including Borders, Type, Hartz, Glosters, Old Varieties, Color Bred Lipochrome, and color Bred Melanin), 80 American Singers, 130 Love Birds, 79 Cockatiels, 106 Foreign and Hookbills, 45 Budgerigars.
The Southern California Bird Club and the Fresno Canary and Finch Club served as sponsors. With both clubs' help, plus the show managers: Paul Ballew, John Sullivan, Jim O'Connor, Scotty McNiff; consultant Neil Rombardo; and Margie McGee, the untiring Show Secretary; it proved a good team that is to be congratulated for a successful show.
