Great resource about Emu care, recommended highly
We were given a pair of Emus and needed an on hand resorce for keeping them
healthy and happy. This is a great source of info covering everything from
anatomy, to pen requirements, breeding and slaughter. I am very pleased with
the purchase, well worth the money. The only thing it could add is about
handleing...our male Emu kicks both to the front and backwards. They do not
like dogs a bit and will try to attack an animal near the fenceline. ...Be
careful around them and they are no problem at all. |
rick@hroads.net from Gloucester, Va. , March 21, 1998
Very informative This book is an excellent source of information needed to
learn more about emu. Not technical. Very down to earth writing, giving you
information from collecting and incubating eggs, to slaughtering. Discusses
sickness in the birds and various diseases. Also discusses different housing
and fencing needs for the birds. |

| As the study of cooperative breeding systems expands, a
number of key species form the examples that underpin our general
understanding. The ostrich is increasingly becoming such a textbook species, on
the basis of the results obtained in Brian Bertram's study of vigilance and egg
discrimination in this extraordinary bird. Here Bertram presents new data on
the ostrich communal nesting system, in which several females lay in one
female's nest, with only one female and the male doing all the work. The
Ostrich Communal Nesting System unravels the basis of the cooperation observed,
and explains how a system involving apparent altruism is maintained by natural
selection. It is now possible as never before to explain and quantify the
effects of the different choices these birds make and to integrate ecological
and morphological factors such as predation and size. Based on three seasons of
study in Tsavo West National Park in Kenya, this book depended on recognizing
individual birds, detecting and monitoring well-concealed nests, determining
motherhood of eggs from their surface appearance, and time-lapse photography of
nests. Key findings were that females could switch rapidly between reproductive
strategies, that a nesting female could recognize her own eggs and when
necessary discriminate against those of other females, and that the whiteness
of ostrich eggs is an adaptation that protects them against overheating but at
the cost of greater vulnerability to predation. |
