The Avicultural Society of New South Wales is one of the oldest bird societies in Australia. It commenced in 1940 and is still the most diverse bird society in our state, covering a full range of bird groups. We are all about birds in human care, so CARE FOR birds... but we also CARE ABOUT birds, their survival, their conservation and habitats.
- We have a large, friendly and diverse membership catering for all levels of bird keeping from the novice to the experienced aviculturist.
- We have specialist people at our meetings who cover all aspects of keeping and breeding a diverse range of bird groups.
- Meet people at our meetings with similar interests to yourself.
- For those who are unable to attend meetings we produce a great bi-monthly magazine.
