The Queensland Finch
Society (QFS) was formed in September
1969 by a group of 19 enthusiasts and
dedicated itself to the study of
Australian and foreign birds,
particularly finches.
QFS strongly promotes the highest
standards of keeping and breeding of
birds through promotion of the hygienic
keeping and scientific feeding and
breeding of birds in the best and most
natural conditions possible. As such the
Society endorses the Queensland Code of
Practice for Aviculture and our own Code
of Conduct for QFS Events.
Since its early days of producing a
simple photocopied flyer called the
"Finch News", QFS members now enjoy a
professionally printed colour magazine
each month.
The Society holds regular general
meetings on the first Friday of each
month and runs various birds sales,
auctions, shows, workshops and BBQ's
throughout the year - all in the spirit
of keeping our members and the community
well informed of the best practices of
caring for finches.
Through our Constitution we are
dedicated to the conservation of birds
particularly Finches, at liberty and in
captivity including their habitats. QFS
is actively supporting the "Save the
Gouldian Fund" and the "Black Throat
Recovery Program".
The club now has a membership of almost
1000 which includes local, interstate
and international members.
