The Aims of the Society

The objectives of the International Turaco Society are twofold: Firstly, we encourage anyone interested in keeping and breeding turacos in aviculture to join us. Secondly, the Society acts as a forum to collect and disseminate information about the various turaco species. We are particularly interested in increasing understanding of the ecology, behaviour and distribution of the wild Turaco family in Africa.

When do Members Meet Up?

There is an Annual General Meeting every Spring, and the committee may meet during the year. In addition, there are organised visits to private and public collections, which may include turacos.

I.T.S members receive a twice-yearly magazine, which reports on the birds' behavioural and breeding activities in the wild, as well as news items regarding developments in husbandry techniques for birds in captivity.
