Better Care Through Knowledge
Avian welfare is the foundation of responsible aviculture.
Good care considers nutrition, housing, behavior, enrichment, health, and long-term well-being.
AFA provides practical guidance for bird owners and aviculturists at every experience level.
01 Everyday Bird Care
AFA is developing Bird Care 101 as a practical starting point for informed, responsible avian care.
The resource is intended for new and experienced bird owners, families, and aviculturists.
Core topics include:
-
Daily care and husbandry
-
Nutrition and clean water
-
Safe housing and environment
-
Behavioral needs and enrichment
-
Routine health awareness
-
Responsible, informed bird ownership
Bird Care 101 will support AFA education and community outreach as the resource develops.
02 Disaster Preparedness
Preparedness helps protect birds when conditions change unexpectedly.
Planning ahead helps protect bird health, safety, transport, housing, and continuity of care during emergencies.
Preparation includes:
-
Emergency preparedness planning
-
Evacuation readiness
-
Temporary housing and transport needs
-
Access to supplies and support during emergencies
-
Community response and recovery efforts
Preparedness builds resilience and helps maintain safe, continuous care when conditions change quickly.
