Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Quailology; The Domestication, Propagation, Care Treatment of Wild Quail in Confinement: Together With Natural History Notes, Letters From Breeders a Digest of Game Laws
While I love to see these graceful birds in the full and free enjoyment of their liberty, I cannot but feel that those who de nounce their keeping in confinement, look only at one side of the question, and take no account of the miseries and struggles for existence they encounter against winter and rough weather, the vermin and the shot-gun swine. I, however, would cry out against those who try to keep them and take no interest or trouble in making them happy and free from misery. Much misery is caused every day and many birds are lost from the lack of know how care, and an improper conception of their natural peculiarities, food and habits. Some who cannot, would if they only knew how, make their birds happy. It is the purpose of this volume to, as clearly as possible, give the needful instruction to these and any who may wish to take up the culture of these game birds from a fanciers' standpoint.
