The society for creative anachronism has been around for over 40 years. Traditional arts and sciences include heavy fighting, cooking, spinning, weaving, costuming, dancing, and music. Why then should aviculture be studied in the SCA? In this podcast we'll examine how parrots have been a part of the SCA for many years. We'll introduce the history of parrots and spotlight two famous medieval monarchs who kept parrots: Frederick II, the holy roman emperor who wrote the book on falconry, and Henry VIII of England.
Host Biya Sama Fujin (mka Laurel A. Rockefeller), guildmistress of the Known World Aviculturists Guild in the Society for Creative Anachronism talks about companion birds, medieval aviculture, and about life in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Medieval Aviculture classes, discussions, community news relating to the SCA, and more.

I'm the guildmistress for the Known World Aviculturist Guild, a group within the Society for Creative Anachronsim that studies companion birds, including parrots. I have two cockatiels, Mithril and Aragorn, who are the light of my life. Love playing with parrots and teaching people about birds. Love watching wild parrots at Brooklyn college--parrots need to be wild, free, and protected!
