Book excerpt: This antiquarian book contains a comprehensive guide to the various ailments common to pigeons, with information on treatment, prevention, handy tips and hints, and more. This detailed and accessible guide will appeal to both the novice and experienced pigeon fancier, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. The chapters of this volume include: 'Irregularities in Laying', 'Irregularities in Fecundation', 'Mortality in the Egg', 'Mortality in Young Pigeons', 'Mortality During the Second Month', 'Irregularities in Moulting', 'Affections of the Skin and the Limbs', 'Affections of the Digestive System', 'Affections of the Excretionary Organs', etcetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned introduction on pigeons.
