The Avicultural Society of America
was founded in New York in October, 1927, by several
aviculturists who saw a need to share their experiences
and knowledge about the keeping of birds in garden and
aviaries. With letter writing as the main method of
communication, the rapidly growing society soon realized
that a more expeditious form of exchange was needed. The
Avicultural Bulletin was born in 1929 as a monthly
publication. The name of the publication was soon changed
to avoid conflict with a publication in England.
