This book offers the reader extensive information on birds, with a
special focus on mating and the growth of their offspring. This
informative volume will appeal to those with an interest in raising
young birds, and it would make for a fantastic addition to
ornithological collections. Contents include: "Nests", "Concerning
Eggs", "The Nestling, The Helpless Group", "The Nestling, The Precocious
Group", "Behaviour of the Young", "Behaviour of the Parents", "Food and
Feeding", "Lessons and Language", "Adolescence", "Maturity",
"Maturity-continued. Courtship and Display", etc. Thomas Coward (1867 -
1933) was an English ornithologist and amateur astronomer. He wrote on
natural history, local history and Cheshire for a number of publications
and books. Other notable works by this author include: "The Vertebrate
Fauna of Cheshire and Liverpool Bay" (1910), "The Migration of Birds"
(1912), and "Bird Haunts and Nature Memories" (1922). Many vintage books
such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in
mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new
introduction and biography of the author.
