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 (Feb-December) in pdf format full colour emailed or you can download past copies in the member section. 

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.
