This book contains a comprehensive handbook for the designing and
construction of bird aviaries. It was written with the intention of
making this text of equal value to the wealthy and ambitious bird-keeper
and those with a more modest budget and designs. The perfect guide for
prospective aviary builders, this handbook contains a wealth of easy to
follow instructions, helpful tips, and detailed photographs and
illustrations. Chapters contained herein include: 'Ventilation',
'Double-decker Arrangement', 'Provision for Show Cages', 'Sectional
Structures', 'Good Ventilation Essential', 'Steady Temperature',
'Building Materials', 'Nest Boxes', 'Variety in Design', 'Hens Know
Their Job', 'Cardboard Nest Boxes', and 'Seed hoppers'. We are proud to
republish this antique text with a new introduction to ornithology.
