What we’re about
THIS IS A MEETUP GROUP FOR THOSE THAT LOVE THEIR BIRDS!
PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO COVID-19 and H5N1 Bird Flu, ALL MEETUPS FOR OUR GROUP HAVE BEEN CANCELLED (2020 to present). PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR POTENTIAL PATIO EVENTS COMING UP (and other ways we can safely support our birds until it is safe to gather again as GCBS)!
The Georgia Companion Bird Society (formerly known as The Georgia Cage Bird Society) was formed in 1955, and is a club for devoted parrot & bird owners/lovers. Our meetings are held monthly at the Smyrna Community Center in Smyrna, GA. Our purpose is to bring parrot people together for education, fun, networking and friendship, & as an "ADOPT DON'T SHOP" organization, our focus goal is to support and collaborate with Georgia and other state 501(c)(3) parrot/bird rescues and sanctuaries, and help the hundreds of surrendered or unwanted rescue/sanctuary birds find safe and loving homes.
Our monthly meetings include educational presentations by local Avian Veterinarians as well as various individuals with expertise in specific parrot/bird species. Many of our meetings are social events, but ALL of our meetings are solely for the birds, meaning that your healthy, annually-vetted, clipped or harnessed well-mannered feathered kids are welcome to accompany you to the meetings!
Our "birdie" attendees ranges from the tiniest of Finches to the largest of Macaws & every kind of bird in between. In addition to the meetings, we have Spring and Fall bird picnics at Red Top Mountain, field trips, & separately from the club, many of us enjoy "Birds' Brunches or Dinners Out" at various patio restaurants in the Atlanta area.
If you want to have fun & make friends with others that are bird-crazy, this is the club for you! Please support the Georgia Companion Bird Society with an annual renewable membership:
Individual Membership: $25.00 - Family Membership: $30.00 - Per-Meeting Membership: $5.00
