Book excerpt: This book discusses the history of aviculture and the cultural extent of keeping and raising birds in captivity for pleasure, companion[ship], ornamental reasons, religious causes or various economic or practical purposes. Since the dawn of mankind, humans have kept birds in captivity. Several species are truly domesticated, while others have simply been bred in captivity for many generations. Today bird-keeping for pleasure appears to be declining in the West, mostly due to bird protection and growing awareness about conservation issues. Although aviculture has had, and still has a deep impact on human beings, it remains a neglected field within humanities and social sciences. Relatively little is published about the cultural and historical aspects of aviculture. This anthology is intended for a general audience of readers and it shows various aspects of keeping birds in captivity for pleasure, ornamental reasons or practical purposes around the world. It also deals with the great variety and complexity of the practice of keeping birds, and the specific cultures which have developed around it. Modern aviculture in zoological gardens is discussed and specific bird categories within twentieth-century aviculture are described in some chapters. We encounter sophisticated bird-keeping in pre-Columbian societies, Norse trade with falcons, the European craze for songbirds, practices with captive birds used in human habitations to keep vermin under control, and how avicultural expertise is used for trying to save vanishing species by breeding them in captivity. Together these topics illustrate the great variety and complexities of bird-keeping practice. The authors are specialists in aviculture and most of them hail from the countries about which they write. This book bridges the disciplines of cultural anthropology, ethnobiology, history, natural history and ornithology and is intended to benchmark the development of the subject for a broader audience, which until now has had few possibilities to become acquainted with it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds, Their Cages and Their Keep: Being a Practical Manual of Bird-Keeping and Bird-Reading I claim the same rights for birds, lower in the scale of creation, yet alike gifted with a capacity for feeling, suffering, loving, and in an inferior measure, for thinking. A bird's instinct corresponds in its own proportion and degree to a man's power of thought mind it has not, but remember, -brains, nerves, and feelings, it has. Neglect occasions acute physical suffering affection and frequent notice awaken habits of observation and memory. In bird-keeping as a pursuit, it is safest at first to be guided by the teaching of books afterwards trust more implicitly to personal observation and experience than to any printed guide. At best, an author can only advise, inform, and lay down general rules. Different birds need different handfing.
