About the Convention

Welcome to the Official AVES International Parrot Convention Website!!!

The concept for the AVES International Parrot Convention is to promote and improve aviculture, particularly the keeping and breeding of Psittacines. Speakers are chosen from around the world for their expertise in Aviculture to formally deliver their presentations and informally disclose their particular expertise. Social events are held throughout the Convention program to enable delegates and speakers to trade personal knowledge, whilst renewing friendships, contacts and promoting new business opportunities.

 

AVES 2011 will formally commence on the evening of Thursday August 11th with a `Meet the Speakers’ Dinner. AT the GRAFTON RSL Mary Street Grafton. Registration commences at 6.30pm with dinner at 7.30pm.

Friday Begins with registration commencing at 11AM  Lunch is provided at the South Grafton ex services club for registered participants and the presentations commence at 2pm, followed by a finger food dinner and light entertainment.

Saturday is a day full of lectures accompanied by generous food breaks. On Saturday evening delegates are invited to the AVES Gala Dinner, commencing approximately 90 minutes after the last lecture to allow delegates time to prepare for the night’s entertainment.
