The Gozo Bird Breeders Society was founded in the year 2000.  Before that date, the members the society formed part of the Malta Cage Bird Association.  The 1999 committee felt that with the number of Gozitan members signed up, the experience  accumulated and their capabilities, it was due time to break away from the Maltese association, and form one for Gozitan members.  Nowadays, more than 120 members are enlisted to the Gozo Bird Breeders Society.   

The principal target of the Society is to teach its members the art of bird breeding and showing.  It didn’t take long to achieve this aim and with great pleasure one can say with great success, because the standard of the members’ birds is quite high.  Proof of this is the consistently excellent results obtained by our members at the annual shows held in Malta .   

The Committee’s goals and strategies are helping to retain and hopefully improve this standard.  Our members are learning more about breeding and about the importance of training them to be able to show them in the various shows organised around the islands and to obtain good results.  For the first time during the December 2003 Annual Show organised by GBBS, the judging was based on the point system.  It is our belief that this will help in keeping a high standard.   

What is our aim?  It is the committee’s main priority to organise during this year more educational meetings.  Speakers considered as an authority on the topic to be discussed will be invited during these meetings open to all members. These meetings will provide the opportunity to discuss particular issues and topics, which are basic and important for the bird breeder.  Through discussion, one can share ideas, thus allowing the members to learn from other breeders’ experience.  Also encouraging new members to join our club is important since in Gozo reside a lot of bird breeders.  

My gratitude goes to all the members of the committee for their help, and to the members for the support they always show.  Our appreciation also goes to all those people who support financially throughout the year the Gozo Bird Breeders Society.
