As these birds are kept in cages and aviaries, our main aim is:-
The bird's welfare,
Managing techniques,
Methods for breeding
Members meet in a friendly atmosphere and have a cup of coffee while sharing their own experience with each other. Mission statement. To encourage and promote the breeding and well being of cage and aviary birds. The Malta Cage birds Association is now over fifteen five y
ears from its inception and managed to acquire hundreds of members. It embraces several sections; Parrot-like, Finches, Type Canaries,Frill Canaries, Coloured Canaries and a Junior Section, with each section having its own comitee directing its members under the guidance of a central comitee. The latter, managing the whole organisation. All comitee members of the Malta Cage Birds Association, are elected at the 'Annual General Meeting', from amongst the association members. We encourage discussions and being a member of such an association, gives the members the opportunity to meet and discuss problems faced by the fancier, which in most cases, unfortunately, has no right or wrong answers, with other members of the association. Exchanging of information on techniques and bird room management is of utmost importance for the well being of these creatures. To better enhance communication between our members, we managed to acquire an adequate premises, in the central part of the island, at Imriehel, called the 'MCBA Centre' This was an old technical school, and has been converted to high standards and specifications to give friendly atmosphere to our members and to reach our objective. At the premise's large and spacious hall, we organise lectures and meetings, sometimes accompanied by videos and photographs, on various aspects of aviculture by both local and foreign fanciers in the field. The association organises table shows during the months of October and December for all of its sections. The Malta Cage Birds Association organises social events for its members and their families. Such events, besides helping the association financially, help us get to know each other more.
