Many aviculturists use the term “bird show” when they really mean a convention, symposium or bird mart. Conventions and symposiums are events where people go to learn about birds and their care, breeding, updates on veterinary research and to learn about various conservation activities.

So then, what exactly constitutes a bird “show”?

                 GET TO KNOW ABOUT PARROTS BEFORE YOU BRING ME HOME - I am not a domesticated pet like a dog or cat.  I still have the spirit of the jungle in me.  I have special needs, which you may find it hard to fill. Please don't learn these too late for my well-being.  And please don't acquire one of my cousins wild from the jungle-it will jeopardize his survival and well being, and that won't be a party for you either!
