Covering almost 260 species of gamebirds, this book focuses on identification, status and distribution, habitats and geographical variation. Many of these species are both exotic and endangered, some are kept in private aviaries, while others are exploited commercially.

This entire book must have been a labor of love for its authors. . . . [It] lets one appreciate the great beauty of these birds. . . . This new book satisfies my need to have close at hand a convenient world reference on one of my favorite groups of birds. -- Paul A. Johnsgard, Birding
