For 113 years, the Pietermaritzburg Canary and Cage Bird Club has been committed to breeding excellence, ethical bird keeping, and fellowship amongst bird enthusiasts. The Club was originally established in 1912 as the Cage Bird and Gold Fish Club.

2025 will be their 111th showcase of the hobby of keeping, breeding, exhibiting and showing cage birds. This pastime, which brings people of all ages and from all walks of life together, is educational, interesting, helps to limit the trade in wild caught and imported birds, and promotes conservation.

The Club is committed to helping its members be the best keepers, breeders and exhibitors they can be. You are invited to come and view the birds in the Royal Bird Hall, and to discuss any aspect of bird keeping with the club members.

You are also invited to join the club and enjoy their shows, meetings, social gatherings, discussions, talks, mentorship, and newsletters. There will be birds for sale.
