Do you yearn to talk with other bird lovers about companion birds?  Try joining an internet mailing list.  Below is an alphabetical listing of e-mail bird clubs you can join.  You can choose a generic bird club or one that is species specific.
    Whichever you choose the information you can learn is priceless.  No book or other form of literature is more informative than learning "real bird care from real bird owners and breeders". 

Tips:                                                                                                              
*In all e-mails leave the subject line blank unless otherwise specified.

*When you get confirmation of joining from the list owner SAVE YOUR INTRODUCTION LETTER for future reference.                                          

*Lurk on the list for a few days to get the feel of how posting is normally done by the members then write a message to the list introducing yourself and your birds.
