Welcome To NFSS!
The National Finch and Softbill Society is dedicated to promoting the enjoyment of keeping and breeding finches and softbills to all interested parties, enhancing our knowledge of the proper care of these birds, encouraging breeding programs, and working with other organizations for the preservation of aviculture in this country.
Founded in 1984, the NFSS currently has over 700 members, representing all fifty U.S. states and several countries around the world.
Hurry Up! There is still time ... a precious life is waiting.
Save the Gouldian Fund!
MAKE YOUR DONATION OF $10, and NFSS will match up to $10.
Recent estimates suggest that less than 2500 Gouldian finches remain in the wild. The Save The Gouldian Fund was established in 2005 to promote awareness and fund valuable research into the decline of the Gouldian finch, now endangered in the wild.
Your donation will help STGF continue its important conservation efforts.
See the STGF web site at www.savethegouldian.org for details about this remarkable project.
The National Finch and Softbill Society collects annual census data about the birds we keep.
Please participate for 2011.
You do not need to be an NFSS member to participate. All finch keepers are encouraged to participate, whether you keep one bird or hundreds - whether you breed, or just enjoy them. This information helps us keep track of what species are being kept, what species are being bred, and their geographic distribution.
Or, Visit Finch and Softbill Save
Please remember to participate each year with the annual Census, located at
http://www.nfss-fss.org/Census/ All are welcome to participate, and see the results, regardless of whether or not they are an NFSS member.
