| Mousebirds, or colies, are gaining popularity as pets and in aviaries, and this book is a must for any bird fancier who is interested in the unusual. |
|
Three years in the making, this book takes you into the world of mousebird aviculture, giving an extensive look at what it takes to care for and breed these acrobatic, softbill birds. |
|
Previously little has been documented about this fascinating order of birds in captivity. Now, through a mixture of zoological and private owner experiences and observations plus scientific studies, this book covers completely the care, diet, housing, and breeding of all mousebirds. |
|
The first section examines mousebirds in the wild, discussing all six species and their subspecies, habits, diet, and impact on their native lands. In the following sections, all aspects of pet, aviary, and display mousebirds in aviculture are explored. |
|
The beginning bird fancier as well as the experienced aviculturist will find this book interesting, enlightening, and useful. |
|
| Excellent resource for zoos and bird curators! |

| Books covering softbill bird species in aviculture are a rarity, and one that delves indepth into any one group of softbill birds is almost unheard of in any decade, despite the fact that softbills have been raised in captivity |
| for generations. |
| This 2001 book on mousebirds is truly a first of its kind! |
