Welcome to Central Virginia Bird Club
We are here to educate, and have a great time doing it.

Central Virginia Bird Club
Affiliated with both the American Federation of Aviculture and Avicultural Society of America
Founded on February 10th,2018, we are a club made up of bird caretakers, chicken keepers, veterinary professionals, friends of people with birds, breeders, and conservationists. We get together monthly to educate each other, help new bird owners discern bird facts from fiction and, of course, have a great time. At our meetings you'll eat good food, meet new people and their birds, probably win a raffle prize, and, most importantly, you will always find yourself in an atmosphere that encourages everyone to ask questions, and learn new things.

Monthly Meeting
We meet every month, on the second Saturday of the month at 2pm.
765 Oakleigh Ave
Appomattox, Virginia 24522
There is no charge to join.
Board Meetings take place before each meeting.
