Vendors and breeders from across the region will be on hand with everything you need. Whether you’re ready to bring home a new feathered friend or just want to browse… You’ll find cages, toys, perches, specialty feed, and all kinds of bird supplies–including several products from event sponsor Independent’s Choice Feed. Plus, the experts will be there to answer questions, share care tips, and help you figure out what’s best for your bird-loving lifestyle.

The best part? The price is nothing to squawk about! Admission is just $5 for adults, with free entry for kids 12 and under. It’s an affordable, unique way to enjoy a special summer outing!
