Pheasant Keeping for Amateurs; A Practical Handbook on the Breeding, Rearing, and General Management of Aviary Pheasants

By George Horne

Originally published in 1887, this book comprises a detailed guide to setting up and maintaining a routine of management for the successful rearing of pheasants. Written in clear, simple language and full of handy tips, “Pheasant Keeping For Amateurs” represents a timeless guide for all with a practical interest in the subject of keeping wildfowl for pleasure or sport. This volume was originally written with the novice in mind, making it ideal for modern readers who are just starting out. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on wildfowl.
