It's with a great deal of enthusiasm that we welcome you to the NCBA website. National Call Breeders of America is a club which was formed to encourage the breeding and exhibition of Call Ducks and we will very soon be celebrating our 25th Anniversary. The popularity of this colorful, intriguing, and quite enjoyable breed of waterfowl has skyrocketed in recent years. Due to it's smallness in size, the breed is much easier to maintain and handle for those with less space. And due to it's charming personality and demeanor......the birds are a sheer joy to raise!!
Each year four newsletters are published, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. There are numerous articles from breeders/members in those newsletters which will provide invaluable information to those interested in raising Calls. Members can keep up on shows as well. The number of Call Ducks being exhibited at local and state shows has steadily increased the past few years. Each year a National Directory is published which lists breeders across the U.S. and other countries. A lot of other informational publications are available for purchase through this website as well....so you are encouraged to purchase a membership and join in the dynamics of our Great Club!
The NCBA has an excellent Junior Association as well. We pride ourselves in drawing the youth into the hobby by encouraging the younger members to participate in many of the contests, breed programs, etc., being offered to encourge the breeding and exhibition of call ducks.
Each District in the U.S. has a District Director, those are listed on this site as well. You are encouraged to contact those Directors with questions on shows, breeders within their district that might have birds available for sale, etc. Each District hosts a District Show each year and a number of Special Meets happen all over the U.S. each year. You can check out those shows by going to the 2010 show page. Each year a National Show is held at a location chosen by our Board of Directors. This is an incredible experience for breeders and those interested in call ducks. Hundreds and hundreds of the finest call ducks assembled under one roof, is a true sight to behold!
So....as Secretary of the NCBA I welcome you to our website. Keep coming back often as we will be making a number of exciting new changes to the site.....more for everyone!! I encourage you all to purchase a membership.....whether a Standard Membership or a Junior Membership and begin to share with us in the sheer utter delight of raising and exhibiting this incredible little creature!!! Feel free to contact me or any of the Officers or District Directors of the club for more information at any time.
