IAATE envisions a world where all humans working with birds will have the scientific knowledge, practical skills, and commitment to continuous learning to ensure the lifelong wellbeing of the birds in their care.
Our members are supported in providing programs, in partnership with their avian ambassadors, that will inspire positive conservation action from the people they reach. As a result of our efforts, all birds will thrive, whether in human care or in the wild.
BEST PRACTICES
We foster the highest standards of physical, behavioral, and social wellbeing of birds in our care and their role in inspiring caring attitudes and conservation action through quality public programming. Rooted in data-driven science and continuous practical experience, we commit to share this valuable knowledge within our community.
CONTINUOUS LEARNING
We recognize the application of our skill directly impacts the quality of the lives of the birds in our care, and therefore we encourage constant learning and embrace an attitude of openness to feedback and improvement. IAATE is committed to providing resources and facilitating opportunities for professional development through conferences, publications, personal interactions, and mentorship.
COMMUNITY AND CONNECTIONS
We are a global network of individuals united by a shared passion for enhancing the wellbeing of birds in human care and deepening the connection between humans and the natural world. We provide an inclusive support system to achieve these goals by fostering trusting relationships among our members through collaborative efforts and open communication.
