2022 Apr/May/Jun – President’s Message
November 2-5 was our 16th annual educational conference and fundraiser for the Avicultural Society of America in Tampa, Florida.

However, we have planned a new feature into this year’s conference that we anticipate will be a very robust conversation amongst all of us: aviculture’s stakeholders. This new feature is a roundtable discussion with a panel of experts in animal politics. We have assembled a small group of some of the most vociferous, pugnacious, intelligent, longsuffering, wise, and experienced fighters for the…
