About Aviculture

Aviculture is the practice of keeping and often breeding birds in captivity. Photos of birds and their aviaries and zoo exhibits are welcome.

"Aviculture - The worldwide hobby of keeping and breeding numerous species of wild birds in captivity to maintain their numerical status in nature with a view of forestalling their extinction by supplying aviary raised stock" - Jean Delacour

A responsible aviculturist is one that keeps and breeds birds in as a natural setting as possible, enriching the lives of the birds in their care and providing the absolute best care possible. Our aviaries are perhaps the last sanctuary for many species.

Group Rules:

Not required, but helpful: please TAG your picture added to the pool with "aviculture" and its common and scientific name (if known). The scientific name should appears on one tag, use " " marks at either side of the name in order to do so. No limit on posting, as long as they are of birds!!
