Rand Avicultural Society Exotic Bird Expo, Hillfox B&B markets Roodepoort, November 1st and 2nd, 2014

The Rand Avicultural Society, one of Johannessburg's oldest bird clubs, is again proud to announce it will be hosting its 5th annual Exotic Bird Expo on the 1st and 2nd November 2014! Visitors to the expo will be able to view a broad cross-section of birds kept and bred by RAS members, with a big emphasis on finches and doves. We will have around 10 avairies on display, each decorated with natural material. Each aviary will display a specific family of birds. Amongst the display of birds that can be viewed will be finches, doves and quail,both foreign from many parts of the world, as well as African species and no less than 60 South African species! We will also have some parrots on display. 

The aim of the expo is to promote aviculture in general, and to attract more members to our bird club and to this fascinating hobby that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. There will also be write-ups of the different bird-groups in an effort to educate the general public about these magnificent creatures! Whether you have ever kept birds before or would like to learn more about how to start, this will be the perfect opportunity! It's also a great place to share advice and tips earned through their experience. 

There will also be a section with birds for sale to compliment the expo, and a section for vendors who have bird related products for sale. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain some quality birds mostly directly from our breeders. Entry to the Expo is FREE and we welcome new members, and invite interested parties to participate. If you would like to make use of this opportunity with all this "bird-traffic" and would like to sell any of your birds, please let us know asap as we are always in need of birds to sell! If you are selling any bird related products and would like to book as a vendor, feel free to contact us for more information. 

We look forward to having you join us on this "bird-filled" weekend! We will be open to the public at 10am.
