Daniel Lutolf (Luetolf) Interview - BSSA Interview August 2022

It's that time of the year we all look forward to, when a good number of fellow enthusiasts come together for a social catch up and virtual aviary tour, all from the creature comforts of home.

This month, strap yourselves in as we Zoom into Wurenlos Switzerland to visit the Swiss Maestro, Daniel Luetolf. Daniel is considered by many as the most recognizable name in modern Exhibition Budgerigars. Having started breeding at age 11 , Daniel has gone on to win multiple European Championships across his 40 years in the hobby. He has previously visited Australia in 2014 to deliver a lecture on how he has changed the style of birds over time, and is considered by many as the most influential breeder of the exhibition budgerigars in the modern era.

The super birds that he makes available each year have formed the nucleus of many leading studs of birds, and many exhibitors have benefited from his 40 years of experience.
