The Rand Avicultural Society (RAS) is proud to announce that we will be hosting an Exotic Bird Expo for the first time at the Hillfox Power Trade Centre on October 23rd and 24th 2010.
If you have any interest in Birds or Bird Keeping, then don’t miss the chance of visiting us . There is no entry fee and we will be combined with Hillfox B&B Markets ( situated Corner Albert and Hendrk Potgieter Sts., Weltevreden Park )
We are a generalist bird club and cover virtually the full spectrum of bird species, ranging from Parrots, finches, softbills and doves to groundbirds.

We will have these categories of birds on display and there will be many
write-ups of the different species to inform would be aviculturists on their care, housing and breeding requirements.
RAS will be combining with other specialist bird clubs who will also be showing birds , such as Zebra Finches and Gouldian Finches.. There might also be a limited number of birds for sale.
In addition, there will be a number of aviaries on show and for sale, sponsored by West Rand Bird Farm, who will also be giving demonstrations of hand rearing baby parrots. They will also have a range of bird accessories, nests and nesting logs and branded bird food for sale not to mention a wide range of DVDs dealing with many subjects of Bird Keeping in the South African environment.

We also hope to have Bird Rings and Candling Inspection lights for sale.
