Hi BSSA Members & Friends
September Club Meeting – Tuesday 1 September @ Unley Community Centre @ 7pm
Our September meeting promises to be a little different—and lots of fun!
All Novice members are encouraged to come along with three questions on any topic you choose. Our moderator for the evening, Sue Adams, will put your questions to our Open and Intermediate members, giving us a great mix of opinions, ideas and answers.
So, get those thinking caps on, jot down your three questions, and let’s put our club’s “brains trust” to the test! If you are not sure what to ask, think of 3 things that have challenged you recently either when showing your birds, breeding your birds or general husbandry in the aviary.
We’ll also be enjoying our popular “Member on the Couch” session, with George interviewing Patrick O’Rourke.
It’s sure to be an entertaining and engaging evening, so come along, join in and be part of the fun!
Bird Flu Update
We encourage all our members to stay informed and maintain good biosecurity practices to help protect our birds and the wider bird-keeping community.
The most up-to-date information is available at the link below.
There is also the opportunity to subscribe to the “Poultry Post” which means you will receive direct emails from the Department of Agriculture and have the most up to date information all the time.
At the bottom of each website, you'll find the "Last Updated" date—always check this to ensure you're reading the latest information.

Interclub 26 Show – 15 November 2026 – Cancellation
Unfortunately, the Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel our Interclub 26 Show, scheduled for 15 November this year.
This decision has been made out of an abundance of caution, given that we are still in the early stages of the current bird flu situation. While the full impact and progression of the outbreak remain uncertain, we anticipate that the situation may worsen over the coming weeks, potentially placing us at a significantly higher level of risk by November.
The health and safety of our birds must remain our priority, and we believe cancelling the event is the most responsible course of action at this time.
We thank everyone for their understanding and support, and sincerely regret any disappointment or inconvenience this decision may cause.
BSSA Online Auction
We have a rest week from our online auctions this week, however we will be back with our next auction on 7 September 2026.
If you have any birds you would like to sell in future auctions, please contact Ken Harris on 0456 160 553 or [email protected].
