"Wild Plants for Cage Birds" is a vintage guide to the various species
of weeds and windflowers of Britain. Many of these plants contain seeds
that can be used as bird food, and this book offers descriptions of
these plants together with instructions on how and when to extract the
seeds. This volume is not to be missed by bird owners and breeders with
an interest in gathering their own birdseed, and it will also be of
utility to garners with an interest in plant and weed identification.
Contents include: "Common Chickweed", "Common Dandelion", "Sow (or Milk)
Thistle", "The Sow Thistle", "The Spear Plume Thistle", "The Marsh Plume
Thistle", "Plantain", "Greater Plantain", "Ribwort Plantain", "Eldar",
"Dewberries", "Charlock", "Shepherd's Purse", "Curled Dock", etc. Many
vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and
expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
