About us

'The New Zealand Finch Breeders Association Incorporated’ (NZFBA) was founded in November 1984 when a group of keen finch breeders met to share information and support each other.

OUR OBJECTIVES

  • Help encourage self sustaining populations of the foreign finch species in New Zealand. 
  • Promote collaborative breeding programmes which include good record keeping, the management of breeding to maintain genetic diversity  
  • Support high standards of husbandry including hygiene, diets and breeding by promoting successful methods
  • Promote the sharing of knowledge and experiences of members and aviculturists overseas 
  • Promote the hobby to new members, particularly youth

 

  • Monthly Finches Magazine in pdf format full colour emailed or you can download past copies in the member section. 
  • Library resources

We are as good as our members and we'd love to have you in the group - so come and join in, come to meetings, send in letters, ask questions, post pictures, talk to other members.
