Chester County Bird Club, Inc., is a non-profit educational organization whose purpose is to promote education in all aspects of aviculture and the care of pet birds among bird breeders, pet owners, and the general public. CCBC encourages breeders to engage in selective breeding, closed banding, accurate record keeping, and where possible, provide ongoing support to the pet owners who acquire their birds. For pet bird owners, CCBC provides a forum to acquire and share information and expertise concerning the health, safety, and enjoyment of pet birds. For the general public, CCBC produces educational outreach programs, bird shows and other events promoting the benefits of bird ownership.
CCBC seeks to create a positive climate for bird ownership in their community by staying abreast of local, state and national laws and supporting the interests of their members. CCBC maintains affiliations with a range of national and regional aviculture organizations, and supports a variety of programs, which encourage conservation of birds in the wild, particularly parrots, finches, and other birds that are also kept as pets. They also support programs dedicated to the welfare of pet birds, including rescue and adoption.
CCBC usually meets 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. Visitors are always welcome. It’s a good idea to confirm dates, times and program information by calling 610-701-0656, or e-mailing CCBirdClub@comcast.com
