Here in one volume is a synopsis of the diversity of all birds. Scheduled for publication
in 2015, between the two volumes of the HBW and BirdLife International Illustrated
Checklist of the Birds of the World, this volume distills the voluminous detail of the 17volume Handbook of Birds of the World into a single book. Based on the latest
systematic research and summarizing what is known about the life history and biology
of each group, this volume will be the best single-volume entry to avian diversity
available. Whether you are a birder with an interest in global bird diversity, or a
professional ornithologist wishing to update and fill-in your comprehensive knowledge
of avian diversity, this volume will be a valuable addition to your library.
An interest in birds is a life-enriching pursuit; the sheer diversity of birds means there
are always stunning new species to see and novel facets of their lives to explore. Yet
the grand diversity of birds is also a challenge, as it is easy to become disoriented
amidst a group that contains more than 10,000 species that vary in nearly all of their
most conspicuous attributes. Learning avian diversity requires a mental map to help us
organize our experiences and observations. The scientific classification of birds
provides exactly this framework, grouping together into Orders and Families birds that
are most closely related to one another, and thereby linking species that share
distinguishing traits. For those interested in learning about the tremendous diversity of
birds world-wide, the best way to start is to learn the families, and this volume is a
guide and invitation to do so.

Bird migration is a well-researched phenological event. However, few studies in North
America have investigated the effects of climate change and extreme weather on the
relationships of migratory avian species and their seasonal resources. This is a critical
gap in knowledge that limits our ability to prioritize management and conservation
applications throughout the annual cycle.
Phenological Synchrony and Bird Migration: Changing Climate and Seasonal
Resources in North America explores critical linkages between migratory birds, their
seasonal resources, and shifts in climate change and weather events. Gathered from
projects conducted during spring or fall migration, the book covers topics such as: *
Conservation and management considerations for migratory birds throughout the
United States with respect to climate change * The relation of climate on the wintering
grounds to spring migration of short- and long-distance migratory birds * The
relationships of migratory birds and their seasonal resources, and the nature of these
relationships in the face of climate change and extreme weather events at stopover
habitats in both spring and fall migration With contributions from over 40 researchers,
the book will help readers understand the effects of climate change on migratory birds
and will provide a solid basis for further inquiry and research in this area.
This 214-page title has been eagerly awaited by macaw breeders and pet bird owners
since the first edition went out of print five years ago. The revision is written by the
original author, Rick Jordan, together with Mark Moore-both highly respected specialist
parrot breeders based at Hill Country Aviaries in Texas, USA. This facility boasts some
70 species of psittacines and has been awarded several US First Breeding awards by the
American Federation of Aviculture.
Rick and Mark are both very active in conservation and provide breeders with support
through their knowledge and lectures internationally. Chapters examine macaws in the
wild, taxonomy, habitat and distribution, conservation initiatives and wild status.

Avian Medicine and Surgery in Practice is an invaluable quick reference resource for
clinicians and a useful study guide for veterinary students. In this practical and
beautifully illustrated book, early chapters cover physical examination, advice on
interpreting diagnostic tests, and avian anatomy and physiology. Disorders affecting
the different body regions and systems make up the majority of the book from the
external-skin, feathers, eyes, legs and feet-to the internal including the gastrointestinal
tract and the cardiovascular system.
Premier textbook from the world-famous Cornell Lab of Ornithology
* Full colour throughout with more than 800 illustrations
* Suitable for academic studies as well as recreational birdwatchers
* Nontechnical discussion of all major topics relating to the biology of birds
Further aspects of avian medicine discussed in the book include behavioural
problems, incubation of eggs, paediatrics and surgery. Written by an expert with more
than 30 years of clinical experience in avian medicine, the new edition is thoroughly
revised with updated diseases, new and expanded clinical techniques, and over 100
new color illustrations. It also adds four important new chapters: Husbandry, Grooming
and Nutrition, Diagnostic Imaging, Endoscopy, and Oncology as well as new sections
on cardiovascular anatomy and neuroanatomy.

Laboratory animals, including birds, play an important role in biomedical research. The
humane care and management of these animals is an ongoing concern. A new
addition to the acclaimed Laboratory Animal Pocket Reference series, The Laboratory
Bird is the first publication dedicated to the care and use of avian species in the
research setting.
Covering avian species such as chickens, ducks, doves, parrots, and songbirds that
are commonly used as research models, the book is divided into focused chapters that
cover a broad range of topics, including:
* General avian biology and physiology * Husbandry * Regulations and regulatory
compliance regarding the use of birds in research * Experimental methods * Veterinary
care Along with discussing applicable regulations, the book also details issues of
health management and quarantine approaches. The final chapter provides resources
such as organizations, publications, vendors, and diagnostic laboratories. With its
focus on the care of a diverse group of avian species in biomedical research settings,
The Laboratory Bird is a valuable reference for animal care and veterinary technicians,
laboratory animal veterinarians, trainees in laboratory animal medicine, and research
staff members, as well as individuals involved in laboratory work who lack experience
in working with birds.

Bird strikes are one of the most dangerous threats to civil and military flight safety:
between 1960 and 2014, they were responsible for the destruction of approximately 150
civil aircraft and the deaths of 271 people. Bird Strike presents a summary of the damage
imposed on the aviation industries by their avian counterparts. This book first presents
and analyzes the statistics obtained from bird strike databases and offers various
methods for minimizing the overall probability of bird-strike events.
The next chapters explore how to analyze the ability of aero-engine critical structures to
withstand bird-strike events by implementing reliable experimental, theoretical, and
numerical methods. Finally, the book investigates the impact of bird strikes on different
components of aircrafts, such as the metal fuselage, composite fuselage, engines, wings,
and tail, and proposes two new bird models, with explanations of their use. * Provides upto-date information for aviation staff and researchers working on aircraft safety* Offers
comprehensive investigations on all the statistical, theoretical, experimental, and
numerical aspects of bird strike * Includes studies carried out on bird strike and provides
the reader with the important findings of each paper
