It is vital now, more than ever before, that we establish self-sustaining captive-breeding populations of as many different species as possible. With this in mind, The Avicultural Society is supporting a number of Special Interest Groups. These putkeepers and breeders in touch with each other to exchange information and birds, with the ultimate aim of forming the maximum number of unrelated breeding pairs. Although all of the contacts listed below are here in the UK, the Special Interest Groups are by no means confined soley to UK Aviculturists, but also welcome contactwith aviculturists throughout Europe. North America and elsewhere.
