Abstract
THE study of birds in captivity can provide much valuable information, such as the length of incubation and the different stages through which the chicks pass on their way to maturity. In the present volume, we have the author's personal knowledge of how he tended the birds. He gives much information on the construction of aviaries; the varying foods and how to give them; how to handle the birds; how to feather clip and how to pinion them. Under “Vermin” many creatures are included and instructions given for dealing with them. The book ends with a chapter on diseases and how they should be treated.
