NFSS Annual Census

In addition to running the Finch and Softbill Save program, the NFSS also conducts an annual Census. This census helps us keep track of what species are being kept in the US and Canada, where they are located, and whether they are in breeding or non-breeding environments.

The NFSS Census is open to both NFSS members and non-members, and you may choose to disclose your personal information in order to network, or to keep all of your personal information private.

The Census is conducted from November 1st - December 31st each year. Results from the current and previous years may be viewed online.

Please visit the NFSS Census page and help us get a good handle on the state of finches and softbills in American and Canadian aviculture.
