INFORMATIVE PROGRAMS
We usually meet on the second Sunday of each month at the East Whiteland Township Building in Frazer, Pa., located on Route 401 just east of Route 202. There’s a brief business meeting followed by an educational program, raffle and refreshments. Programs include presentations by local avian vets, reports from organizations like the AFA, species profiles by experienced breeders , fun avian related games and much, much more. It’s a good idea to confirm dates, times and program information by emailing [email protected]. QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER
Our quarterly newsletter keeps all members up to date on the latest aviculture news, including local events, birds for sale, and in-depth reports from organizations like the American Federation of Aviculture, the Association of Avian Vets, Bird Clubs of America and more. Members qualify for reduced advertising rates. LENDING LIBRARY
Our extensive library, available to all members, includes a wide range of books, videos, publications, and newsletters from national organizations and other local bird clubs. Most of these are in “online” form through our Yahoo Group. AVIAN INFORMATION
The Club maintains a comprehensive list of avian veterinarians in the Delaware Valley area, as well as profiles of most major pet bird species. E-MAIL AND YAHOO GROUP
Members are eligible to join the CCBC e-mail group at Yahoogroups.com. By addressing e-mail to the group, it’s received by all the members automatically – a way to keep in touch between meetings. It’s a good way to stay up-to-date on avian issues and events, tell stories, recount experiences, put out calls for help, or share any info of interest to the group. OUTREACH
We take our educational mission very seriously! All too often beginning pet owners don’t realize the many demands of sharing their lives with an avian companion. Throughout the year, CCBC members present programs at pet stores, schools and other venues to spread the word about responsible pet bird ownership. SHOWS AND MARTS
Our Club usually sponsors one major public event each year. It’s a chance for all our members to pitch in and have fun helping out with the many duties involved in managing a successful avian event. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Social highlights of the year include our spaghetti dinner in February, our picnic and barbecue in July and a holiday party in December featuring a “Pollyanna” gift exchange that we guarantee you’ll never forget! Experience the thrill of sharing your experiences, showing your birds, finding a new avian companion, or exploring the latest in bird toy fun. Join us and meet new friends with a common interest – LOVE OF BIRDS!
