Motto: Protect Our Feathered Friends
Pledge: I desire to become a member of The Liberty Bell Bird Club, and promise to study and protect all song and insectivorous birds, and do what I can for the Club

Early on the club considered the need to kill certain invasive birds, but later seems to have dropped this idea. However, killing birds for the millinery (hats) trade was condemned.
