Upland game birds (Galliformes) is a very fascinating and popular family of birds. They are found all over the world and most are ground dwelling. They have become a very popular back yard species where room for aviaries is limited as some are quite small. Other members of this family are quite large and striking.
One lovely thing about the upland game birds, they are very colorful for the most part. While some may be called drab in coloration, the male birds sport outstanding coloration with patterns that only Mother Nature could design. Besides being attractive, their undying popularity is due in part to the fact that some species can lay many eggs.
There has been a great need for a comprehensive work on how to manage and breed game birds by a person with an extensive and authoritative background in game bird research, breeding and pathology. This book fills this need! Upland Game Birds - Their Breeding and Care is the second edition of the popular first printing Raising Game Birds which is now out of print.
