Compared to large game birds, quails and partridges have the undeniable advantage of feeling comfortable even in relatively small aviaries, making their care and breeding possible for bird enthusiasts who only have a small garden. The standard work by Dr. Heinz-Sigurd Raethel provides a comprehensive overview of all species of these game birds, their natural taxonomic position in the system, their morphological and color characteristics, and their geographical distribution, in line with the latest research. It also covers the setup and design of housing and enclosures, breeding and raising, feeding, as well as the compatibility of the different species with one another. Creating the right conditions is crucial for the success of a breeding program. Dr. Heinz-Sigurd Raethel's book is an indispensable guide in this regard.
