Celebrating Adelaide’s Love for Birds
Welcome to the home of Adelaide birds – where budgerigar breeding, bird shows, and a vibrant avian community come together under the guidance of the Budgerigar Council of South Australia (BCSA). Whether you are a fan of birdlife in Adelaide, or looking to consolidate your understanding of South Australian bird species, we can help. If you’re looking for wild, native, or urban birds – or even birdwatching in Adelaide, the BCSA can help. You might be a long-time exhibitor, a backyard breeder, or simply a bird lover. To that end, the BCSA supports and promotes the budgerigar fancy across South Australia with events, education, and a strong sense of community.
