This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economic Value of the Bobwhite No birds have so firm a hold on public interest as the game birds. The laws enacted on their behalf exceed in number a hundred fold those relating to other kinds of birds. Among game birds the bobwhite is held by many to be preeminent. Easily accessible over a wide area of the country, small enough of size and swift enough of wing to test the sportsman's skill, delicious enough to please the epicure, to most sportsmen it is without a peer, the king of our feathered game. The name 'bobwhite' is derived from a fancied resemblance to this word in the familiar utterance of the bird. It has been adopted by several writers because of the inaccuracy of the two names by which the species is usually known - quail in the North and West and partridge in the South. The name quail' properly belongs to a smaller migratory bird of a different genus, found in the Old World, the quail of the Bible story; while 'partridge' in New England, universally applied to the rufi'ed grouse, is strictly the name of another Old World genus, though also used to designate the group to which bobwhites, quail, partridges, and other closely related birds belong.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Grouse and Wild Turkeys of the United States, and Their Economic Value From the early settlement of America until the present day the size, toothsome qualities, and handsome appearance of the grouse and wild turkeys have given them a place among the most widely known and appreciated of our native birds. Throughout the conquest of the continent they served to eke out the scanty larder of the pioneer, and under the changed conditions of more recent times have taken an established place among the most prized luxuries of the table. Their habits are interesting alike to the country boy and the city sportsman, and both share in the keen pleasure of their pursuit. Their presence on the farm or in woodland is directly beneficial, owing to their destruction of harmful insects.

Download or read book The Practical Value of Birds (Classic Reprint) written by Junius Henderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Practical Value of Birds Because of the fact that some species of insects and other pests which are normally kept within reasonable bounds, may, during especially favorable seasons or cycles of seasons increase so rapidly as to become very harmful, those birds which take a mixed diet are particularly valuable. Thus a bird species which ordinarily is largely vegetarian lives through seasons of scarcity of insects, and then is ready to turn its attention to an insect diet whenever the insects become overabundant; whereas, if the birds were all exclusively insectivorous, comparatively few would survive seasons unfavorable to ia sects and thus be on hand to aid in the warfare against these pests when seasons favorable to insect life occur. A species which is harmless, or even beneficial, in its natural habitat, may become injurious when transported to a new environment, where the natural checks upon its increase are wanting, or the lack of its natural food, or the presence of a food which is more enjoyable, may cause a marked change in its food habits. It is said that the Skylark, green linnet and black thrush are considered beneficial in Europe, where they are native, but in New Zea land, into which country they have been introduced, they have developed traits which render them far from desirable additions to the fauna of that It will be interesting to watch the effect of the introduction of the Little Gray Owl into New Zealand for the purpose of fighting the English sparrow Such importations are now, as a result of disastrous experience, prohibited by law in some countries, including the United States. The introduction of a species may disturb the balance as much as the extermination of one. European rats, accidentally introduced into Jamaica, became a great nuisance. The Indian mongoose was imported to destroy the rats. It turned its attention to game birds, poultry, young pigs and lambs, and became a great pest, also destroying many birds, snakes and lizards, which feed largely upon insects. This was followed by an increase of insect pests. Disaster also followed the introduction Of the mongoose into Hawaii, and its importation into the United States was barely prevented. Rabbits.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigation of the Economic Status of Non-Game Birds The different insects, seeds, etc found in a bird's stomach are often so finely comminuted that they are difficult to identify. Much of the material, however, it has been possible to determine as far as the family, and in many instances to the genus and species. The food contained in a bird's stomach can usually easily be separated into two classes animal food and vegetable food. The animal food consists largely of insects, and the vegetable food of grain and weed seeds (fig. Reference collections of insects and weed seeds have afforded material for comparison.

Bird Study: Its Educational Value and Methods In selecting subjects for home study and school work the natural interest of pupils should be considered, although this should by no means be the prime feature in determining the subjects to be pre sented. We believe that the cultural value should be the first con sideration. Indeed, the education of the heart is too often neglected in the wild rush to fill the brain as soon as possible. Perhaps no subject is better adapted to develop the moral or humane features of a child's character than the properly conducted study of birds; and there is no other subject in which children naturally take a greater interest.

This book was released on 2018-08-17 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Food of the Robins and Bluebirds of the United States Few native American birds are more universally cherished than those well-known harbingers of spring, the robins and bluebirds. On esthetic grounds alone they receive full protection, partly from the romance that clusters about them in story and legend and partly because of their graceful shape and movement, bright color and pleasing song, and close association with man and his works. Quick to realize their safety the birds nest and rear their young about human abodes, and at times becomes very abundant, their numbers frequently reaching such proportions that apprehension is felt that they may become dangerous to agriculture and horticulture. A study of their economic status therefore. Is of the utmost importance, especially when it is considered that a bird's reputation is very often affected one way or the other merely by hearsay evidence. Investigation discloses that in addition to their pleasing qualities robins and bluebirds perform a very useful function in reducing the hordes of insect life constantly preying upon the crops of the farmer. In this work a large part of their food consists of insects and they feed their young upon them almost exclusively. It is recognized that birds are one of the necessary checks provided by nature upon the increase of the vast number of insects produced each year; that without them there would be a greater destruction of vegetation; and that certain crops of the farmer now regularly matured would, if raised at all, be raised only with increased di roulty and added labor. Prominent among the insect eaters are the thrushes, the group which includes the robins and bluebirds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Few Notes on the Habits, Life History and Economic Value of Doves: The Raising of Young Waxwings, Ampeles Cedrorum W. E. D. Scott in the Auk, Vol. IV, 1887, gives a terrible account of the wiping out of the beautiful American Egret. Years ago, in Florida, there were prairies white with the birds, and even many of the adjoining islands were alive with Egrets. But what do we find now? Miles and miles of shore with perhaps a single solitary bird. These birds were killed by the hundreds of thousands annually; and the same may be said of its smaller cousin, the Snowy Egret, which, at one time abundant all through the Gulf States, is now all but extinct. Here the bull 's-eye for every hunter was the beautiful bunch of snow-white aigrettes. F. M. Chapman (birds of Eastern North America states I have heard a plume hunter boast of killing 300 herons in a rookery in one afternoon. Another proudly stated that he and his companions had killed - Herons, Egrets and Terns during one winter.
