1 in stock
A fascinating and increasingly scarce 1974 reference work on the breeding, preservation and captive management of wild waterfowl. Produced by the American Game Bird Breeders’ Cooperative Federation and edited by George A. Allen Jr., this Volume II covers a wide range of topics including wild waterfowl propagation, nesting data, raising swans and buffleheads, magpie geese, decoy carving and detailed waterfowl classification.
The book is illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings and species studies, including fine bird artwork by Albert Earl Gilbert. Topics range from practical avicultural methods to species-specific notes on ducks, geese and swans, making this a desirable title for collectors of ornithology, aviculture, bird breeding and vintage natural history books.
Condition – Very Good
Red faux leather or vinyl-covered boards with some bubbling to the front cover only; spine and rear cover remain unaffected. Internally clean and complete. 136 pages. A sound and attractive copy overall.
