The Aims of the Society

• To share information about proven breeding and feeding methods

• To encourage the breeding of Estrildid Finches (Waxbills, Munias, etc.)

• To help members locate, exchange, purchase or sell stock

• To build up stocks of captive-bred waxbills to minimise dependence on imports

• To assist members to contact one another at Branch Meetings or by telephone


Our magazine The Waxbill, is issued quarterly to all members and contains articles and advice on all matters relating to the keeping and breeding of birds.
