BSAVA Manual of Raptors, Pigeons and Passerine Birds
(BSAVA: British Small Animal Veterinary Association)
Edited: Chitty, John & Lierz, Michael
The Manual starts with the all-important area of husbandry for the
three groups, including those kept as working birds as well as ornamental
and pet species. More general topics, such as handling, examination, diagnostic
procedures and surgery are dealt with across the groups, with notes as
required on specific differences. An excellent chapter is included on
endoscopy and endosurgery - a major technique for avian patients. The
specialist section on raptor disease is very detailed, including an in-depth
chapter on foot disease, especially bumblefoot. Recent interest in captive
breeding is reflected in detailed chapters on reproduction and paediatrics.
The sections dedicated to pigeons and passerine birds look at birds at
both the individual and flock level. A wealth of international expert
authors, and the BSAVA Manual trademark practical approach and superb
full-colour images throughout make this book a wonderful addition to the
practice bookshelf. 352 pgs.

Life Of The Pigeon
by: Skutch, Alexander F.
Covers: Family, eating, drinking, courtship, nests, eggs, incubation,
care of young. "Skutch combines his personal knowledge of pigeons
that he has watched near his Costa Rican home with a masterful summary
of the published literature on Columbids of the world. . . . The doves
and pigeons of the world are a fascinating lot. Alexander Skutch, aided
by Dana Gardner, captures the essence of their life and presents it in
an easily digestible form. Although scientists may be exasperated by some
of the elements of the presentation, any student of birds will be enlightened
and entertained by reading Life of the Pigeon."--Ornithological Literature

Lofts of North America: Pigeon Lofts
by: Gagne, Jerry
This book is the result of over 5 years of work, and I truly believe it
is the most anticipated book in many years. As the owner of a major pigeon
supply company, we receive inquiries on a regular basis, asking for information
about building a loft. This book is meant to give you ideas, not only
on what a loft looks like, but it is also full of interior pictures of
a loft to give examples of nest boxes, perches, flooring, breeder cages,
ventilation, windows, doors, trapping, aviaries, feeders, drinkers, and
so much more. We included over 100 lofts from Hawaii, Alaska, Canada,
North-South-West and Eastern United States. I did not want just Taj Mahal
type lofts that cost a mint, (but there are some in the loft), I wanted
the Average Joe loft, Racing Homer lofts, Fantail lofts, Runts, Rollers,
Pouters, Dovecoats, Parlor Tumblers and so much more. We have included
step by step pictures on building a loft and a page by page diagram with
bill of materials to build a 4x8 loft. The book is 99% in color and much
of the description text is written by the fancier who built the loft.
We have amature builders and professional builders. The book is editing
as we go to press with our catalog, so I can not tell you how many pages
it is, but it will be over 200 and I can assure you, it will be professionally
produced and a book that you will want for the many great ideas offered.
Even if you do not plan on building a loft, Lofts of North America will
give you a ton of ideas about improving the loft you have. Color photos.
