It's very true when we say our Society promotes the keeping of some of the most unique species of birdlife in Australian Aviculture.

Like many of the Country's bird clubs, we're getting a bit old. That's why our ethos has encompassed educating future generations to continue working with these birds, whilst reinvigorating other Aviculturalists to bring these species back into their collections. We're passionate about this, and are working on numerous ways to invite young bird-keepers into our Society. 

We kicked all of this off in the mid-sixties. A group of passionate men and women, who developed the National Pheasant & Waterfowl Society of Australia, spent decades developing the populations of captive species that we see today. However, as mentioned earlier, the age kicks in and we've seen various species become extinct in Australian Aviculture. 

 In the mid-2000's the National Society disbanded into their respective States and Territories, which led us to form The Pheasant & Waterfowl Society of Australia (QLD). We're proud to have Members across the Country, and now open to international Membership too! Our association has made a concerted effort, given the modern decline of species like the Siamese Fireback Pheasant, to proactively support captive breeding of rare species of Wildfowl. 

Our 2018/2019 chapter can only be better. We have now progressed back towards a National model, supported by two other State branches. We're investigating options for some amazing Events, with discounts for Members, and ways to have these brilliant birds increasing in number throughout Australian Aviculture!
