Why the International Turaco Society joined the Foreign Bird Federation The International Turaco Society is affiliated to the Foreign Bird Federation to help create, and hopefully benefit from, the combined voice with which the Federation represents the interests of foreign bird keepers, including turaco keepers, both within the NCA and in the wider world, for instance in communication with UK governments. The society was actively involved in the reactivation of the Federation, and continues to make an active contribution, particularly through the establishment and running of the Federation website. ITS also has a conservation fund which supports research and conservation projects on turacos in the wild. International Turaco Society Aims & Objectives In
January 1993 a group of turaco enthusiasts met at the Cotswold Wildlife
Park, Burford and the International Turaco Society was formed. Anyone
interested in any aspect of keeping or breeding turacos is welcome
to join.
