Welcome

to the

Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club

As members of the Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club, we would like to thank you for stopping by our little corner of the web.   We would also like to take this opportunity to share with you the vision the Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club has for this year.   In years past, we have usually sponsored and organized a summer bird fair.   Our mission for this year is a little different than in years past.   Earlier this year, the active, attending members of the club voted unanimously not to hold the bird fair this year.  We as a club realized that we have become pros at placing parrots in homes but have somehow missed the mark when it comes to teaching and educating humans about how to live successfully with parrots.  Our mission statement proclaims that we are dedicated to "promoting the proper care of exotic birds."   In an effort to fully realize our mission statement, we as a club are taking this year to educate and teach methods to successfully live with parrots in captivity.  It is the intention of the Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club to positively impact the lives of the parrots that are in our charge.  We realize that we can hold bird fair after bird fair but if we fail to positively impact the life of companion parrots, then we are indeed missing the mark.  If you are interested in learning more about living successfully with parrots, you are always welcome at any of our monthly meetings. 

The Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club is a not for profit organization dedicated to promoting the proper care of exotic birds. Located in Shreveport, Louisiana, the club has been active for more than nine years.  We serve the Northern Louisiana, Southern Arkansas and East Texas area.  Club meetings are held the first Thursday of each month at the Bossier Arts Council/East Bank Theater located at 630 Barksdale Blvd, Bossier City, LA. 71111.  Meetings begin at 7 pm and are open to anyone with an interest in exotic birds. Our members come from various areas and beyond the Ark-La-Tex region to participate in our monthly meetings to learn, vote on important issues and to share a common interest that we all share, and that is the proper care of all exotic birds.  

Yearly dues are $15.00 for a single membership and $20.00 for a household membership.  ACBC (Ark-La-Tex Caged Bird Club) publishes a monthly newsletter featuring informative articles, classified ads and club information.  The club typically sponsors one Bird Fair per year as well as numerous educational programs.   If you would like to be a guest at our next meeting, please feel free to drop in.  For more information, please contact one of our officers listed below.
