Our History - A Short Overview
- BPS is the oldest and largest club for parrot amateurs in
Belgium.
- In the mean time, BPS already exists for 32 years. The monthly
magazine was already then put together by a few council members. Even
today, "Parkieten Revue" is still the worrk of a number of
volunteers. That's why it is especially appreciated if there are
people willing to contribute to the contents of our magazine. An
article about breeding results, or about a visit to a bird park, or even
some pictures of your birds (not copyright protected!), every contribution
counts. Don't be afraid if you don't think of yourself as a good
writer - if we get a story, we can edit it so it can be
published.
- One of the founding members of BPS is still actively involved in our
club.
- In the last decennium, we doubled the distribution numbers of our magazine
. The number of pages was increased to 40 and we started to insert
color pictures.
- BPS has several regional sections, each running their own operation, with
regular (monthly) meetings, regular sales shows, and every once in a while a
trip to visit a bird park or a well-known international show. BPS
Brabant also traditionally organizes a show every year. On this show
you can find detailed information elsewhere on this site.
- Since 1997 BPS has its own website. This is the
third version of
this website.
