Greater Omaha Cage Bird Society Fall Bird Fair September 18, 2011

Exotic birds, unique cages and exciting toys will be some of the items featured at the Greater Omaha Cage Bird Society’s (GOCBS) Bird Fair.

Breeders will be on hand to help you choose the perfect bird, along with vendors from across the Midwest who will showcase all types of birds, accessories and pet care supplies. There will also be door prizes and a raffle to help raise money to avian rescues and sanctuaries. The GOCBS Fall Bird Fair is a great resource for bird lovers, those who want to learn more about these beautiful animals or anyone who is interested in having a bird as a pet. Join us for the largest bird event in the Midwest!

The purpose of the GOCBS is to benefit avian education and research. The Fall Fair is the largest area event bringing public attention to the health and ecological importance of cage birds. It offers a learning experience for the public, enabling people to see up close and personal the different birds available for companionship and products available to support and entertain birds at home. Funds raised during this celebration will be used for projects on the local, state, and national levels.

GOCBS hosts monthly meetings on the third Sunday of the month, offering information and support to people interested in cage birds. It has a lending library of books on training, care and husbandry. The Group provides support to the community, education, rescue and adoption services. All volunteer GOCBS board and committee members are experienced bird owners and include certified avian specialists and certified aviculturists who are trained and accredited by the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council and the American Federation of Aviculture.
