Healesville Finch and Softbill Conference
Healesville Finch and Softbill Conference
These were advertised in both the "Talking Birds" and "Australian Birdkeeper" magazines
I was also sent......
I have included below some words from the NFSA President, David Pace.
“It is with great anticipation that National Finch and Softbill Association (NFSA), join with Healesville Sanctuary, to hold the Finch and Softbill Conference. These small and beautiful birds, have been studied with fascination by ornithologists and aviculturists since early settlement. Today, several species, such as the Helmeted Honeyeater and the Gouldian Finch, face the real threat of extinction. This conference, will focus on the amazing scientific work done both in the field and in captivity. It will also highlight avicultural achievements and the progress of coordinated captive breeding programs that endeavour to ensure that species are not lost. Lectures from both private breeders, Zoological staff and ornithologists, together with behind the scenes tours, free flight bird shows and an in-depth view into the captive breeding programs of the orange-bellied parrot and Helmeted Honeyeater breeding programs, promise to make this conference unique.
The Finch and Softbill conference is an opportunity to bring the experiences of both the successful private aviculturist, ornithologists and members of the Zoological community together in the wonderfully unique setting of the Healesville Sanctuary, situated in south eastern Australia’s beautiful Mountain Ash forests. The NFSA is extremely proud to be part of this wonderful event. Please note the date. This conference should not be missed.”
