The Christchurch Bird Club was established in 1906 and is a non-profit organisation formed to foster the keeping, breeding and exhibiting of all varieties of domestic cage birds. The controlling body is the New Zealand Federation of Bird Clubs (Inc.) of which we are one of 53 Clubs and Societies within New Zealand and has over 2000 members.
