Our next general meeting will be Friday 14th June @8pm. We are very please to have Mr Eric Antheunisse from Cedar Hills Birds, California USA as our Guest Speaker. Eric has been in birds for over 40 years and stopped counting once his collection reached 10,000 birds, making him one of the largest parrot breeders in the USA. Eric's collection ranges from parrotlets to Hyacinth Macaws. I hope to see you all there to listen to a very experienced aviculturists.

Our next General meeting we will have a couple of short presentations by one of our members on their recent trip to Adelaide Zoo and Gorge Wildlife Park. Very much bird orientated with a very diverse range of birds.
This will also be our AGM meeting. Input is most welcome, but we will not make you do something you don't want to. So, come along and enjoy the night and catch up with likeminded people.
Look forward to seeing you all there.

The Branch has been very busy the last couple of months. Following is a brief outline of what has been going on and also a few things in the pipeline. We have sent a submission to the ASA with suggested changes to the price list; thanks to everyone for all their contributions in what is a very time-consuming task. At this stage, it looks like we will have Western District and Bendigo members visit in April next year so that’s plenty of time for us all to get things organized. The 2024 Bird Expo dates have now been confirmed and have been sent to the department for approval. It normally takes a few months for written approval to arrive back. There is a combined ASA Christmas BBQ in Bendigo on the 19th of November. We will either take a minibus or car-pool, further information to follow. There could even be a few aviary visits on the day! Our Christmas Breakup will be at midday at The Marven’s Estate in Tatong Sunday 3rd December. Further details will follow at our November meeting. The Parrot Society convention is in Brisbane from the 19th – the 21st of July 2024. In 1983 Birds in the Sun was held in Brisbane, the 2nd National Avicultural Convention with 37 members from Mildura, Bendigo, and the GV in attendance. Should we plan another trip? Please advise if you are interested. Our Western Australian report was recently published in the ASA and Parrot Society magazines. Well, members, this will be my last President's report as I am not nominating to go around again. We have the following positions up for elections at our November AGM: President, Treasurer, Sales Steward, Assistant Sales Steward, Exchange Steward, and Supper Captain. I look forward to seeing you all at the November meeting.
