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:

  • National & International Specialty Organizations: affiliated organizations that are dedicated to one particular species or aspect of aviculture and have national or international memberships.   The Specialty Organizations are overseen by the Specialty Organizations Director, who serves on the AFA Board of Directors.
  • 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.
