About our cause

The Society for Conservation in Aviculture (SCA) was formed in 1993, when a need became apparent to start to conserve avian species before they were lost forever. The Society aims to promote and develop all species and varieties of birds kept by aviculturists, with special regard being paid to threatened and endangered species, both domesticated and in the wild. With ever increasing demands placed upon the Earth, some species of birds are becoming increasingly \'at risk\'. Action must be taken now to ensure that aviculture is able to play its part in the conservation of such species. Everyone can contribute in some way to this. Our prime concern is at all times, for the future survival and welfare of all avian species, and especially for those birds placed into care of the Society. It is also intended that a more active role will be taken in promoting responsible pet ownership and care, with particular regard to parrots. Parrots in the main are seen by the public as intelligent \"cuddly\" individuals - many other societies have already sprung to the conservation of these birds. However the smaller less elaborately coloured species are often missed out of the conservation topics because it may be difficult to sell the idea of conservation of these species to the general public. Often the small species are simply overlooked. The SCA intends to change that perspective and start to open the minds of people to look at conservation in a new light.
