As its name implies, the American Federation of Aviculture is a federation, comprised of numerous affiliated bird clubs and organizations representing thousands of aviculturists.

Affiliated organizations can be separated into two groups:

  • Regional Member Clubs: The American Federation of Aviculture is divided geographically into 11 distinct regions. Each region is headed by a Regional Director who serves on the AFA Board of Directors. Each state in the region is headed by a State Coordinator.
