I require a list of soft bill (Bird) & reptile hobbyist clubs in France and Italy- if these clubs focused on insectivorous birds/repitles the better.
Hello and thanks for asking Wonder for help with researching soft bill and reptile hobbyist clubs in France and Italy.
METHODOLOGY
First, I searched online for reptile clubs in France and Italy, and was able to find several to add to my list for you, below. Next, I searched bird clubs in these countries. Since you didn't want "generic" bird clubs, I looked specifically for soft bill bird clubs. Unfortunately, I found nothing when I searched with these terms so I had to expand my search to general birding, bird clubs, etc. I searched multiple bird societies and associations, universities, ornithology sites, etc. Finding clubs in these particular countries still proved to be difficult. There are many more bird clubs in the US, UK, Canada and Australia, it seems.
Listed below you'll find the clubs I located. A typical Wonder request includes up to 10 items; I included a total of 12, below.
