AAV Auction for Avian Research 2026

Did you know that 100% of the funds raised from AAV's annual auction provide funding for research that helps companion, captive, and wild birds every day?

Your generosity has a lasting impact.Funds raised through the auction have supported conservation initiatives, clinical research, educational programs, and grants that continue to benefit birds, veterinarians, rehabilitators, and the people who care for them. Last year’s generous donations helped make it possible for AAV to fund over $30,000 in avian health grants this year alone, and a total of over $750,000 in grants have been awarded since 1982. Check out all the funded projects here - it's a long list! The AAV is one of the only sources for funding to advance the knowledge of avian diseases, treatment, and prevention through our annual research grants.

Thank you for helping us invest in the future of avian medicine and conservation. Together, we can continue to support the research, education, and conservation efforts that make a real difference for birds everywhere.

The Association of Avian Veterinarians is a diverse global professional organization dedicated to advancing and promoting avian health, welfare, and conservation through education, advocacy, and science.
