Welcome!
The Organization of Professional Aviculturists (OPA) is a trade and conservation organization working on legislation, conservation and education. OPA will work with and for science based, common sense legislation issues, in all areas of government and in all areas of aviculture. OPA will be monitoring legislation that involves conservation, ownership, breeding, pet birds, and re-homing of birds.
Conservation support is high on our list of goals. OPA will support and work with a few established wild bird
conservation groups working in the field, and also with private facilities breeding birds for conservation.
When joining OPA you will be an integral part of all that OPA will accomplish whether you are a
conservationist, work in the industry, a breeder, or a pet owner.
Membership is offered to aviculturists and other persons or organizations who agree to support the goals and
purposes of the OPA.
