AVES INTERNATIONAL PARROT CONVENTION

About Us

The concept for the AVES International Parrot Convention is to promote and improve aviculture, particularly the keeping and breeding of Psittacines. Organisers have not had to budge from this tried and true concept, which is partially the reason that has enabled AVES to become the envy of avicultural conventions around the world.

Speakers are chosen from around the world for their expertise in aviculture, and AVES has had representation from no less than 17 different countries in the past. The vast majority of presenters come from the private sector, as this demographic has advanced far beyond the public sector’s expertise, due mainly to their particular devotion to the hobby. Outstanding zoo curators and keepers are occasional presenters, as are genuine parrot conservation project identities.

​

Speakers formally deliver their presentations and informally disclose their particular expertise.

The presentations are of such quality that just one is being delivered at any one time. Thus allowing delegates the opportunity to gain optimum knowledge from every segment.

Social events are held throughout the Convention program to enable delegates and speakers to trade personal knowledge, whilst renewing friendships, contacts and promoting new business opportunities.
  
AVES is not run to attempt to make a profit and surplus funds are ploughed back into the next AVES Convention.  There is not a push made to extract extra money from the delegates purse, aside from raffles, and the registration fee is all inclusive.

The event also features a visit to Casuarina Parrot Gardens, at Ramornie outside Grafton, where delegates and speakers roam among 280 aviaries set amongst gardens and native bushland. Casuarina has one of the most envied collections of native and exotic parrot species in Australia.
