Discussion Group

The following are the categorized faults that should be considered when evaluating Modenas. Faults are classified as follows: Very Minor, Minor, Moderate, Major and Disqualification. These categories give the judges guidelines as to the severity of faults in relation to each other, yet leave them room for decision making within a fault category.  We realize this list does not include every possible fault, but feel it is a good list to begin.  Some faults are more of a distraction than others thus affecting the overall balance of the bird.
