Download or read book A Book of Birds Classic Reprint written by William Playne Pycraft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-18 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Birds It is owing to the fact that these peculiarities are not generally known, that most writers of books on birds inaccurately speak of the legs and toes of a bird, when by the legs they refer really only to the long cannon-bones, which are clad in scales and often brightly coloured. A reference to the accompanying diagram should make this clear. Here we have the leg of a fowl. The first joint is formed by the hinging of the femur, or thigh-bone, with the tibia, thus forming the knee-joint. At the end of this tibia the joint with the ankle bone takes place but in the birds, as we have said, the two rows which these small bones make up disappear before adult life is reached. One row, as may be seen in fig. 1, is composed, in the half-grown bird, of a mallet-like piece, the handle of which runs up the front of the tibia or shank, and becomes welded to the shank while the other (fig. I), originally of several small pieces composed in the embryo, but now forming a thin plate, becomes welded on to the top of the bones of the foot. It is these last which are always, but wrongly, described as the leg-bones. Really, they answer to the bones of our own feet which lie between the ankle and the toes. The tibia, and the fused row of ankle-bones, is known as the tibio-tarsus. The toes present peculiarities, which will be described as we proceed.

Download or read book Our Birds and Their Nestlings Classic Reprint written by Margaret Coulson Walker and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Birds and Their Nestlings In most cases they are birds of conspicuous plumage, these being most easily recognised. To avoid monotomy, all decriptions have been relegated to the appendix. An attempt has been made to enlist sympathy with, as well as to awaken interest in, bird life, for the interest without sympathy, in this case, would only encourage the naturally destructive instincts of childhood. For the purpose of showing the importance of birds in literature, as well as for the purpose of calling into play the aesthetic faculty, poems and legends have been included. All hackneyed poems have been avoided. For their generous permission to use valuable copy-righted material, intebtedness is gratefully acknowledged to Houghton, Miffin & Co., Small, Maynard & Co., D. Appleton & Co., and Our Dumb Animals Publishing Co.; to Mrs. Margaret Sangster, Mr. Eben Rexford, Mr. Clinton Scollard, and Mr. Frank Dempster Sherman. For the photographic illustrations, I am especially indebted to Mr. Francis Hobart Herrick, an earnest bird student and an enthusiastic photographer, who has kindly permitted me the use of some of the remarkably fine photographs used in illustrating his interesting book, The Home Life of Wild Birds, a book with which all bird students are already familiar. Mr. Frank M. Chapman, Mr. A. R. Dugmore, Mr. John Cameron, Miss Ruth Shutts, Mr. James Miller, and the Recreation Publishing Co., have also assisted me in the same way. Want of space precludes the individual mention of a number of my associates to whom I am indebted for both counsel and good-natured critism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Talks About Birds IN this book I have made an attempt to talk over with young people who are fond of birds the points which have always interested me in my studies of them - and I have studied birds ever since I can remember. What I have always cared about in connexion with them has been their ways of living, their habits and tricks, and their minds and thoughts, so far as We know them to have any. I have also always paid particular attention to the dis tinguished and remarkable birds of all parts of the world, and not to the birds of one country only. I find that most people who are not specialists in ornithology, young people especially, share my tastes in bird-study, and this has encouraged me to pen these chapters.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Birds Subsequently, when, in the course Of events which are not worth mentioning, I came pretty largely and freely into contact with men Of learning and talent, some of whom have graven their monuments and left us, and others still remain, discharging duties of the first importance, with great ability and much public approbation, I still found, that though there was one species of knowledge in which they were greatly superior to me, there was always, when the subject was not merely technical, that is, supple mental to the reality, another species in which I had the advantage of them; and that, when we came to consider the thing itself, and not the mere view which had been taken of it, my knowledge, though it Often, indeed generally, went but awkwardly in mode and figure, went most directly to the point, This helped to convince me that how valuable soever their learning might be among the professedly learned, it was not exactly the best suited to the wants Of a working world.
