About the Catskills Exotic Bird Club
Sun Conures on a Branch
The Catskill Bird Club is a regional association of owners and lovers of unusual and interesting birds. We have been in existence since July of 1987 as of July, 2006 and have seen our membership grow yearly.
We also strongly promote the education of our members and the general public regarding the selection and care of different species of birds as pets. We strongly believe in the prohibition of importing wild birds for the pet industry.
Our club meets the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 pm in our meeting room at 20 Crystal Street, Monticello, New York. Many members bring their birds, which is both educational and fun. Our monthly programs feature a variety of expert speakers on avian subjects. We also engage in field trips that have taken us to many places of interest for devotees of exotic birds. Our monthly newsletter includes contributions from many members and news items of interest to us all.
In the Fall of each year, we produce a Bird Show in Liberty, New York,. We ensure that the show is not only fun but has a strong educational theme as well. As part of the show we have many vendors of bird products such as toys, cages and supplements and other bird related products. There is pet bird judging that is done by bird category for all parrot, finch, canary, and other soft bill categories.
If you have a bird, thinking of getting a bird, or just love birds, please join us at our next meeting and meet our human and avian members.
