We are the Avicultural Society of Tucson (AST) which is a 501c3 non-profit, educational organization. The main objective of AST is to share information about birds, to educate new bird owners as to the proper care, diet, housing and socialization of their birds, as well as share possible dangers to their birds, in order for them to live a long, happy, healthy life.

AST was formed as a bird club in 1983, with its first elected President Robert McCord, who is currently an Honorary Member.  Two other people important in getting this club on its feet were Bill Cook (deceased) and Vern Wilson. Our many thanks to all of the great folks who have worked through the years to help make AST what it is today

Never been to a bird club meeting?
It matters not if you are from out of state, we meet the 2nd Sunday of every month and would love to have you stop in and visit.   

Many of our members are on the internet and can help you locate a bird club in your area when you return home.
