"The encyclopaedia was first published in monthly parts, under the title Encyclopedia voor de Vogelliefhebber ["The Bird Fancier's Encyclopaedia"], commencing in 1964, and subsequently in three bound volumes. They found a ready market and are now appearing in several other languages." "Leading ornithologists and aviculturists from all parts of the world were invited to write on the groups of birds on which they are the recognized authorities. The distinguished team of writers includes Dr. J. Delacour, J. Eyckens, Carl Naether, Robert L. Busenbark, Henry J. Bates, Dr. E. Nieboer, C. af Enehjelm, Joseph Forshaw, Dr. Kurt Kolar and G. Radtke. The late Mr. K.A. Norris, Chairman of the British Aviculturists Club .was one of the editors of the original Dutch publication. The appearance .of the English edition is the result of extensive research and revision on his part, and he added additional descriptions and detail. .It describes species from seventeen orders. The second volume is largely devoted to .the Parrot Family .and includes the Cuculiformes, Strigiformes and Caprimulgiformes. The third volume covers small perching birds, Piciformes, Passeriformes and four other Orders." This volume begins with the following chapters: Preface by K.A. Norris; A brief review of the Class Aves by A. Rutgers; Names and classification by Peter Scott; The bird population of the world; Notes on bird ecology as applied to planted aviaries, by Roland W. Hawkins; The diseases of cage and aviary birds, by Christine M. Startup, M.R.C.V.S. The articles on the species follow, in the order "adopted by Peters in his Check List of Birds of the World." Ostriches, cassowaries, emus, kiwis, tinamous, penguins, divers, grebes, albatrosses, shearwaters, petrels, pelicans, gannets, cormorants, darters, frigate birds, herons, bitterns, shoebills, storks, ibises, wood ibises, flamingos, screamers, swans, geese, ducks, vultures, secretary birds, eagles, hawks, falcons, currasows, guans, chachalacas, megapodes, quail, partridges, pheasants, guineafowl, turkeys, hoatzins, monias, bustard quails, button quails, cranes, trumpeters, rails, gallinules, coots, finfoots (sun-grebes), sun-bitterns, seriemas, bustards, jacanas, oyster-catchers, plovers, sandpipers, avocets, gulls, auks, sandgrouse, pigeons, doves. .…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
