MCBA supports the conservation of natural resources and encourages this by providing information and education to those interested in protecting and preserving endangered species.

The club holds monthly meetings which are both informational and social. Guest speakers provide information on topics related to aviculture and members have the opportunity to speak with and share information with others who have similar interests in birds. The "Beakon" the MCBA newsletter contains articles of interest to both pet bird owners and those members who are avian breeders.

If you would like to learn more about the care of your pet birds, find bird breeders, veterinarians, specialty books and magazines, and socialize with other bird owners, come join the
