Mission Statement: 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.
The Society Finch Standard Committee is now accepting drawing submissions for consideration. Our goal is to enhance the NFSS Society Finch standard with visual drawings. Submit your outline drawings HERE!!!. These submissions will be reviewed by the committee.
The Organization of Professional Apiculturists, (OPA), is actively fighting new rulings from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that currently make it illegal to privately own red-legged honeycreepers, (Cyanerpes cyaneus), and Bananaquits. This affects many of us. Please donate what you can to make our voice heard to reverse the addition of these species to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, (MBTA). From (OPA) “It is our mission to represent the interests of professional aviculturists by supporting and promoting legislative activity, professional cooperation, and scientific and educational programs that promote a healthy and robust management of captive-bred avian species.” Direct PayPal link for donation!

The NFSS is a nonprofit organization as described in section 501(C)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are a group of hobbyists dedicated to the conservation, breeding, exhibiting and enjoyment of finches & softbills. This is accomplished through our standards for aviculture as well as annual activities & community outreach at both national and local events. We also actively participate in conservation programs across the globe in the name of our finch & softbill species that we keep in captivity. Any funds you donate will go directly back into the organization towards educating the public including newcomers to the hobby and keeping aviculture alive.
