Lantermann, Asmus (Hrsg.): Wildvogelhaltung

Wild bird conservation

This book is about professional conservation breeding, for which this book provides the necessary basics.  For such conservation breeding projects, the wild bird populations still in captivity must be located, brought together and managed in studbooks. This requires close cooperation between horticulturists, veterinarians, geneticists, museum ornithologists and also private practitioners. A total of 33 such experts from several professions could be won as authors for this book, and in the first part they first provide the theoretical basis for targeted conservation breeding projects. In the second part, all wild bird species relevant to captive husbandry are discussed with regard to adequate husbandry forms, their nutritional requirements as well as breeding possibilities and problems.
