This is a comprehensive study of birds of prey. Topics covered include: taxonomic classification of birds of prey; management of raptors in captivity; aviaries; drinking water and baths; maintaining tethered raptors; and maintenance under special circumstances.

This remarkable book provides a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of raptors. Since many conditions of ill-health result from bad husbandry, management and breeding practices are also explained in detail. A number of hitherto unknown diseases and new surgical techniques are presented and the sterilisation of falcons is described for the first time.
