Man has kept birds since the dan of civilization; indeed, he has gradually developed new characteristics in his birds through selective breeding. IN this splendidly illustrated history of where, how and why man has kept birds, Sonia Roberts describes the aesthetics and mechanics of birdcage and aviary design, and shows how they reflect many different relationships between man and bird. Birds have kept for their song, for company and for their beauty.
