What is Aviculture?
Aviculture is the practice of keeping and breeding birds and the culture that forms around it.  Aviculture is generally focused on not only the raising and breeding of birds, but also on preserving avian habitat, and public awareness campaigns.  Some important reasons for Aviculture are: breeding birds to preserve the species because many avian species are at risk due to habitat destruction and natural disaster.   Aviculture encourages conservation, provides education about avian species, provides companion birds for the public, and includes 

research on avian behavior.

The truest meaning of aviculture, was described by Dr. Jean Delacour, the most dedicated, influential, and highly respected individual in the modern history of aviculture.

"Aviculture - The worldwide hobby of keeping and breeding numerous species of wild birds in captivity to maintain their numerical status in nature with a view of forestalling their extinction by supplying aviary raised stock"
