Durham Avicultural Society of Ontario, Canada

Founded in 1977, the Durham Avicultural Society of Ontario serves the area East of Metropolitan Toronto that is known as the Durham Region, but includes members in the GTA and the surrounding areas as well.  Regardless of where you are located, you are welcome to join us!

Welcome to an exciting and entertaining hobby. Whether your interests lie with the breeding of rare or endangered parrots or simply with looking after a pet budgie or canary the Durham Avicultural Society of Ontario (DAS) has something of interest to you..

WHY SHOULD YOU JOIN THE DAS?

The DAS is full of people who are more than happy to give advice and steer you in the right direction in all matters concerning the care of birds. DAS membership includes experienced breeders who have 300 or more birds in their aviaries - but it also includes members who are deciding which species is the best for them and don’t have even a single bird. If you have an interest in birds, why don’t you join us?
