Pressestimmen
Extremely useful reference...essential reading for biologists interested in the evolution of birds. Tim Birkhead, Ibis Fine piece of work...a must for all those interested in hybridisation and speciation in birds." Contributions to Zoology "McCarthy...has done an admirable job...Anyone interested in avian hybridism will need the handbook...provides an excellent resource for serious birders and ornithologists." Western Birds. "An invaluable addition to every biological reference library and to all ornithologists with the slightest potential interest in or need for avian hybrid information" The Emu. "The Handbook of Avian Birds is an impressive accomplishment, one that can be equally savoured by browsing birders and appreciated by serious students of one of the biggest birding challenges out there. Highly recommended." Ricj Wright, Editor American Birding Association "It runs to nearly 600 pages and will be of interest to conservation biologists, for example, who eant to know if an introduced bird is likely to hybridise with native ones." Graeme Kirk, Cage and Aviary Birds This book is an essential resource for banders, museum curators, and the serious birder. For researchers in conservation, ecology and evolution, the book is a treasure trove of the occurrence and frequency of hybrids that could be used for preliminary comparative studies. Journal of Field Ornithology (Vol. 77, issue 2), Spring 2006. "There is a high level of accuracy for individual reports in addition to the extent of the overall survey; it seems to indeed come as close to a complete compilation as is humanly possible. I have not met Dr. McCarthy, but after reviewing innumerable cases, I have a vision of a monkish figure variously cloistered in the ancient stacks of academic libraries and hunched before a computer terminal, compiling case after case with detail and accuracy that would guarantee his deliverance to a state of (academic) grace! I am sure my vision is a bit exaggerated, but it is an amazing compilation."--William S. Moore, Professor of Biology, Wayne State University
Kurzbeschreibung
With more than 5,000 works cited, Handbook of Avian Hybrids of the World is the greatest compendium of information ever published on hybridization in birds. Worldwide in scope, it provides information on all reported avian crosses, not only those occurring in captivity, but also in a natural setting (approximately 4,000 crosses are covered). This book is a basic reference, intended both for the serious birder and the professional biologist. McCarthy's work fills a need for reference material that takes into account the last half century of data. It will be of interest to workers in a wide variety of fields, ranging from animal behavior to genetics, ecology, zoology, and systematics. In fact, it will make fascinating reading for anyone interested in birds and the natural world.

Hard reading but extremely excelent material!
12. Januar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This has got to be the most exhaustive gathering of material on Avian Hybrids I have ever seen! Having been working with small birds, quail,pigeons, parrots and doves for over 45 years, I wish I would have had something like this years ago. Once you realize that the code to understanding the book is in the front pages you can easily understand which birds hybridize in fertile or non fertile crosses. I am especially in to pesserines and Dr. McCarthy's list of Canary crosses is absolutely awesome! Some I had never considered and some I had experienced yet had been accused of lying. I knew I was not and he presents the truth that others have had the same results as I! That is so cool!
I would recommend that any one who is into hybridizing any kind of bird, from ducks, to canaries, turkeys to black birds, you have got your listing here and this will save you years and years of work. Yours in the sport: D. David E. Cummings--Kanaryman Aviaries and Research Foundation
