aviarist
Keeps captive birds
An aviarist is a person who keeps birds, typically in an aviary—an enclosed structure for housing birds in captivity.
The term suggests serious involvement with bird keeping, whether as a hobby or profession, beyond simply owning a pet parakeet: The aviarist bred exotic finches for twenty years.
