Africa’s Feathered Locust (Signed)

This scholarly work focuses on the red-billed quelea (Quelea quelea), a small weaver bird native to sub-Saharan Africa, renowned for its attacks on small-grain crops. The title underscores the bird’s significant impact on agriculture, likening it to a “feathered locust.” The volume comprises various articles discussing the quelea’s ecology, breeding habits, social behavior, and the challenges it poses to farmers. It also explores control measures and the complexities of managing this species within its natural environment. The book serves as a comprehensive resource for ornithologists, agriculturalists, and researchers interested in the intersection of wildlife and agriculture in Africa.
