In 1997 The Namoi Valley Aviculture Club (NVAC) hosted its 1st bird sale which was held in the Griffith Pavillion at the Gunnedah Showground and the following year moved to the PCYC to accommodate both trade stands & birds.

The sale quickly outgrew the PCYC and was relocated to the Judi Guest Basketball Stadium which was double the size of the previous venue. In 2005 the sale was split with the club utilising the nearby Griffith Pavillion to house the trade stands.

Since this time the sale has grown to be one of the largest sales on the east coast with bird enthusiasts travelling from around Australia.

In 2019 the Gunnedah Bird Sale & Expo attracted 175 exhibitors with over 4000 birds benched along with 26 trade stands filling the Griffith Pavillion.

2022 is building to be another great sale and the NVAC invites all bird enthusiasts to come along and have a great day.
