Gerrits 144 pages Hardcover with dust jacket Good condition The Phasianidae are among the most colorful and striking birds to be seen anywhere in the world. It is not surprising that interest in them is great and continually growing. Most people are familiar with the Game Pheasant, but few realise the number of other varieties, such as the Ruffed, Eared, Long-tailed, and fire-backed, the Argus, the Tragopan and the Peafowl. Pheasants breed readily outside their natural environments: they make excellent aviary birds and can be kept in full freedom in a part or estate. Mr Gerrits writes from his own close study of pheasants over many years. He provides full descriptions of the different varieties and gives advice on housing, feeding, breeding and rearing the young. Colour plates illustrate 26 species; there are also 30 photographs and 17 line drawings in the book. |
