Abstract
"Conservation of bird wildlife through
captive propagation" is the by-line of
the true aviculturist. He is not a collector
of birds, but a breeder; not a consumer of
wildlife, but a producer.
A vi culture has come a long way in the
past dozen or so years. Aviculturists are
becoming more sensitive to their unique
role and responsibility towards wildlife
and its future. They are concerned about
their effectiveness and strive for success
in their breeding program. They have set
goals for themselves.
