Book Description
Excerpt from Feathers From Domestic and Wild Fowl There are many practical uses. The feather duster is still avail able, though goose quills have gone out of style. During the war, large quantities of feathers were suitably dyed and applied to sur faces for camouflage purposes. They were also processed to yield feather fibers, which proved to be acceptable extenders of down for sleeping bags. These fibers will also be used in some of the newer textiles But the greatest volume of feathers is used in pillows. Quilts, comforters, and upholstery.

Wild Birds and Avian Influenza

Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 strain has spread from domestic poultry to a large number of species of free-ranging wild birds, including non-migratory birds and migratory birds that can travel thousands of kilometers each year. The regular contact and interaction between poultry and wild birds has increased the urgency of understanding wild bird diseases and the transmission mechanisms that exist between the poultry and wild bird sectors, with a particular emphasis on avian influenza. Monitoring techniques, surveillance, habitat use and migration patterns are all important aspects of wildlife and disease ecology that need to be better understood to gain insights into disease transmission between these sectors. This manual contains chapters on the basic ecology of avian influenza and wild birds, capture and marking techniques (ringing, color marking and satellite telemetry), disease sampling procedures, and field survey and monitoring procedures.--Publisher's description.
Avian Growth and Development

ISBN: 9780195106084
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
This is the first re-appraisal in 50 years of concepts of development made in birds. This book is a case study in evolutionary diversification of life histories. Although birds have a rather uniform body plan and physiology, they exhibit marked variation in development type, parental care, and rate of growth. Altricial birds are fully dependent on their parents for warmth and nutrition and begin posthatching life in a more or less embryonic condition. At the other extreme, such superprecocial species as the megapodes are independent of all parental care from hatching, and the neonate, able to fly, resembles an adult bird. This book thus attempts to present an integrative perspective of organism biology, ecology, and evolution.
