The International Turaco Society was set up in 1993 by a group of turaco enthusiasts who met at the Cotswold Wildlife Park in Burford (Oxfordshire in England). Anyone interested in any aspect of keeping or breeding turacos is welcome to join. My thanks to the many members who have already paid their subscription for 2010. If you have not paid and wish to continue to be a member, please renew as soon as possible. 25 2008 members who did not renew for 2009 or 2010 have now been removed from the members' list. Please continue to support the I.T.S. You can apply or renew on line (£12 U.K. and £13 overseas). Issue 33 of our magazine has now been posted out to all paid up 2010 members. Please send items of interest for Issue 34 by 1st August 2010 to: |

E-mail: I.T.S. Members' advertisements "Turacos for sale or wanted" Lost and found Although turacos are not native to the UK, a number are living 'wild', having escaped from a collection somewhere. They are usually White-cheeked, but a few Violaceous have been spotted and any species kept in captivity could potentially escape from its flight. To identify the turaco have a look at the pictures on the species page. As for where he/she has come from a good point of contact is John Hayward on 01869 325699, e-mail , who co-ordinates a national register of lost and stolen birds. He will pass the information on to Cage & Aviary Birds, a weekly newspaper. |
