This group, mainly intended for aficionados of canaries, finches, and small softbills, has come about in response to a need to have a place to access valuable avicultural information which could be expanded and revised.

Therefore, this group has a couple of different purposes:

1. To be a place to make available valuable information on various species of birds seen in aviculture, their care, and their breeding needs. This information may be in the form of original essays and articles, translations, the works of other authors and scholars with permission. In addition, photographs and illustrations of birds seen in aviculture as well as sound files of their voices, especially those which are seldom seen and heard by such means will be available.


2. To be a "cloverleaf" on the information super highway by means of a helpful links area.
