Membership and Its Advantages

The Central Indiana Cage-Bird Club (C.I.C.B.C.) is a non profit organization dedicated to preserving exotic birds in captivity and in the wild, parrot conservation, avian research and the education on the welfare of exotic birds. The Club strives to provide up-to-date information on proper health care for your bird(s) that includes breeding, feeding, training, taming and environment, as well as other information of interest to bird owners.

C.I.C.B.C. is proud of its membership, which includes many people who are well-acquainted with birds. Some are veterinarians, avian technicians, and experienced breeders of all birds, pet owners from the little canary to the large macaw. C.I.C.B.C. members are willing to share their knowledge and to help each other.

C.I.C.B.C is involved in a larger picture, however, and that is the worldwide conservation of exotic bird life. The Club endeavors to keep its members educated on related topics, such as endangered species, habitat preservation, and improved breeding habits for all species of exotic birds to help eliminate extinction of any more birds.

C.I.C.B.C. is for any person with an interest in birds: if you are interested in the welfare of exotic birds, if you are interested in protecting exotic birds from extinction, if you are interested in exhibiting birds at a show; if you own one bird or one hundred, then this Club has something for you. At the meetings members have the opportunity to meet each other and to make new friends with people who share a common interest.

Our monthly newsletter is written by and for club members. It is filled with numerous informative articles, feature articles on bird health, bird care, and many bird-related subjects, and classified and business ads.

Discounts are given at certain pet stores on the purchases of any bird-related items when you show your membership card. A raffle is held at each meeting offering bird supplies, crafts, and many other items. There are three yearly Bird Fairs. Proceeds are donated to veterinarians for avian research, club affiliations such as AFA, AAV, MARE, parrot conservation and others.

Monthly meetings are held the third Saturday of each month at 1:00 PM at the Beech Grove Public Library, 1102 Main Street, Beech Grove, Indiana. Meetings cover a wide range of topics, from live demonstrations to sessions on proper nutrition, veterinary care, conservation, etc.
