Adelaide Ornithologists Club
- Adelaide Ornithologists Club
The Adelaide Ornithologists Club (AOC) was founded by Alan Lendon, a leading surgeon and prominent aviculturist, in 1960, as a breakaway group from the South Australian Ornithological Association, with John Neil McGilp as its first President. It followed dissension within the SAOA about the live bird export trade, in which the Adelaide Zoo was a leading player and Lendon a member of the Zoo Council. In contrast to the SAOA, the AOC remains a small and exclusive group with a membership limited to 55. It publishes an occasional bulletin, "Bird Talk", first issued in 1972.
