The Care and Propagation of Ornamental Waterfowl
About this book
This antique text contains a guide to the care and maintenance of waterfowl as ornamental birds in personal ponds and lakes. 'The Care and Propagation of Ornamental Waterfowl' deals mainly with the waterfowl that are the most suitable for ornamental waters, and attempts to show how easy they are to manage when adult, rear when young, how inexpensive to feed, and delightful to watch. The perfect guide for existing or prospective waterfowl owners, this informative text makes a great addition to any collection of ornithological literature. Chapters contained herein include: Flamingo, Swans, Whooper Swan, Whistling Swan, Trumpeter Swan, Mute Swan, Black-Necked Swan, Black Swan, Coscoroba Swan, Semi-Palmated of Pied Goose, Spur-Winged Goose, Indian comb Duck or Black-backed Goose, Muscovy, White-Winged Wood Duck, and many more. This book was originally published in 1933, and we are proud to republish it here with a new introduction to aviculture.
