NOTES
1. The grand essentials of a Fife Fancy are controlled roundness combined with type, quality and natural colour, (that is non colour fed yellow, buff and white ground only) in a diminutive form. When all other points are equal - preference to be given to the smallest (shortest) bird.
2. Points are the maximum that can be awarded for a feature. But not the maximum it can be penalised for a serious fault - all features must be in balance.
3. Shown in the standard Border Fancy show cage with non drinker perch moved in one wire - drinker hole may be reduced in size for extra small birds.
