The keeping and breeding of ornamental pheasants has grown considerably in recent years and with it the need for a basic, yet comprehensive book on the subject to guide newcomers through the many aspects of selection and management of these birds. In this volume will be found answers to most questions likely to be asked in respect of housing, feeding, breeding, general care and also on the species themselves. Illustrated throughout with both colour and black/white photographs this book will prove an invaluable reference work for those planning to keep their first pheasants, whilst being of more than passing interest to those who are already experienced in keeping these beautiful birds.
