LIBERTY, NY (September 17, 2013) – It’s a bird, it’s a plane … it’s hundreds of exotic birds.
The Catskill Exotic Bird Club will be holding its 22nd annual Pet Bird Show on Sunday, October 13, at the Liberty Firehouse in Liberty NY.
There will be bird judging, vendors selling everything from bird toys to cages to food … and birds. All owners of pet birds are encouraged to enter their own birds; the entry fee is only $1 a bird. Every type of exotic bird from parrots to finches to softbills will be judged in its own division. Every bird is checked by a veterinarian before being admitted to the show.
In addition, the show will include a separate youth division. Any child 12 or under may enter his or her pet bird in a 4-H style judging. Every entry will receive a certificate of participation and the appropriate ribbon. After the youth judging, the birds will be entered into the overall competition.
There will be a large raffle area with bird toys, accessories and food, all donated by local and regional pet stores as well as from major national manufacturers themselves. The show will include an interactive education area with super tame birds on display along with magazines, newsletters and handouts. Food and beverages are available for purchase. And the Liberty firehouse offers ample free parking.
The club, which celebrated its 26th anniversary last year, is devoted to the education of the general public about the care and responsibilities pet bird ownership as well 
as the the strict enforcement of anti-importation laws. The club, which recently received its official 501(c)(3) charitable organization status, also presents educational programs at schools, hospitals and civic groups.
