A group is a way of organizing members of BirdPulse around a particular shared interest. The group could be focused on a particular breed (Cockatoo Lovers, African Grey Fans), a particular cause (Remembering Alex, PETA), a local group or bird club (BFBS Bird Club, Avicultural Advancement Council of Canada), or any other kind of group (Canadian National Bird Show, Clicker Training). It's totally up to you! Once you have created the group you can invite others to join or leave membership open and let them join on their own. You can send messages to the group, post events and manage your own forums.
