Survival Manual
Do you really have enough space to keep ducks? Could you house a cockatiel with a canary? Would the neighbours object to the noise made by a Harris hawk? Cage and Mary Bird Survival Manual will answer all these questions and many more.
The manual contains a comprehensive directory on the care of over 170 different species, plus almost 150 closely related species. Quick-reference charts show each bird's characteristics and requirements, including its compatibility with other birds and whether it is quiet or noisy. Guidance is also given for the level of experience and knowledge required for keeping each species of bird.
In addition, there is a wealth of general advice on housing, feeding and breeding birds. Details on housing include the choice of suitable materials; the size needed; heating, lighting, ventilation and planting in aviaries; and useful practical tips on cleaning. Feeding good quality fresh food is of vital importance, and the author stresses the need for a responsible attitude towards breeding. Illness in birds used to be thought of as almost inevitably fatal but, by keeping a careful watch for any signs of disease, birds can often be nursed back to health if treated early enough. This manual gives details of practical first aid treatment, and useful equipment to keep to hand.
From quail to canaries, pheasants to finches, parrots to peregrines, the Cage and Mary Bird Survival Manual provides all the information the enthusiastic amateur needs to keep birds in tip-top condition. Vissza
