The Baby Bird and Its Problems

First published in 1927, "The Baby Bird and Its Problems" is a vintage treatise on young birds with a special focus on their early development and common ailments. The author combined the simple observations of the naturalist with contemporary scientific understanding, making for fascinating and informative reading. This volume is highly recommended for those with an interest in ornithology, and it is not to be missed by collectors of vintage bird watching literature. Contents include: "The Call Of Spring", "The Homes In Which The Baby Birds Are Born", "The Eggs From Which The Nesting Birds Are Hatched", "The Baby Bird Within The Egg", "How Young Birds are Protected Against Their Enemies", " How And On What Young Birds Are Fed", " How And On What Young Birds Are Fed (continued)", "How The Nursery In Some Cases Is Kept Clean", "How Young Birds Are Affected By The Heat", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
