The American Federation of Aviculture (AFA) is a non-profit organization established in 1974 that is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of bird keeping. AFA provides support to bird owners, breeders, veterinarians, and conservation scientists, both in the United States and internationally. They offer educational programs, fund avian research and conservation projects, and advocate for bird-friendly legislation. AFA also publishes the informative AFA Watchbird Journal, which covers a wide range of topics related to bird keeping and aviculture.
With their extensive network and partnerships with organizations such as the US Fish and Wildlife Service and USDA, AFA serves as a vital link between the bird community and government agencies. By joining AFA, members gain access to valuable resources, including discounted bird feed and supplies, networking opportunities, and free advertising for birds for sale. AFA also organizes an annual educational conference where bird enthusiasts can learn about the latest advancements in bird breeding, keeping, and avian medicine. Through their dedication to bird welfare and conservation, AFA plays a crucial role in ensuring the continued presence of birds in our lives.
