A.E.B.C. is affiliated with the American Federation of Aviculture, American Budgerigar
Society, American Cockatiel and Softbill Society, the Canary and Softbill Society
and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance.
Founded in 1971, AEBC is the oldest non-profit 501(c)(3) bird club in San Antonio
and among the largest bird clubs in Texas. The primary mission of the club is
to promote avian education and does so, in part, by donating thousands of dollars
annually to Texas A&M Veterinary School scholarships, the San Antonio Zoo
bird and education departments, Last Chance Forever bird of prey rescue, American
Federation of Aviculture, and other worthwhile organizations. The majority of
these funds are raised by the semi-annual Bird Marts.
A.E.B.C. sponsors bird marts twice a year, The Fiesta Bird Mart in the Spring,
and the Fall Bird Mart in the Fall, bringing people from all over the country
with birds of all ages and species, bird cages, toys, playpens, books, seed, and
other bird related items.
The Club publishes a monthly newsletter that contains fun and educational information
of all aspects of breeding and keeping birds in captivity. Articles are written
by veterinarians, breeders and pet owners. Upcoming bird marts, show schedules,
club information, updates on legislation affecting not only breeders but also
pet owners, classified ads, and much more. A library containing various books,
magazines, articles, and VCR tapes on birds and bird related subjects is available
to all A.E.B.C. members.
Our members have a wealth of information to share with one and all. Most of
our members have been keeping and breeding birds for many years and are able to
help with questions and problems of all aspects of bird care.
Alamo Exhibition Bird Club meets the fourth Sunday
of each month at 2:30 pm at Kirby Senior Center, 3211 Allen Sheppard, in Southeast San Antonio.
The meetings feature a speaker on some aspect of bird
behavior or care, a raffle, and refreshments. Visitors
are always welcome but please leave your birds at home.
Membership dues are $20.00 per year, or $1.67 per month(s) remaining in the
year. For more information call (210)449-0480 or
