5.0 out of 5 stars
A Milestone in Avicultural Literature, August 2, 2010
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Aviculture (Vol 1) (Hardcover)
Not since Rudgers and Norris's 1972 Encyclopedia of Aviculture, has there been a complete in depth treatise of birds that are kept in captivity and the techniques required to maintain them successfully.The Author Glen Holland hasn't gone for the easy option and cut and pasted standard information,or padded it out with irrelevant photos. Everything is pertinent to this reference book and practical manual on bird keeping.
He has researched the journals of avicultural societies and bird clubs,and harnessed input from zoo aviculturists, gathering details which would normally see the light of day.Many will complain about various omissions. But these can always be included in future editions.Its not the last word on bird keeping but its the most up to date.
