Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the diverse family of birds known as Passerines, commonly referred to as perching birds. Passerines are the most widespread and varied of all bird groups, comprising about half of all bird species globally, with nearly 1000 species found in India alone. The author classifies the family using a combination of classic and modern ornithological techniques, including analysis of anatomy and vocalizations. The text is divided into two volumes, with the first detailing the families of Acromyodian Passerines, which possess complex vocal muscles, and the second volume covering the Mesomyodian Passerines, which have simpler vocal cords. This volume, the first of the two, explores the families Corvidae, Dicruridae, Oriolidae, Eulabetidae, Sturnidae, Nectariniidae, Muscicapidae, Hirundinidae, Fringillidae, Motacillidae, Alaudidae, Dicaeidae, and Pittidae. The author has drawn upon museum collections and field observations to provide detailed descriptions of each species, including their distribution, habitat, habits, and breeding behaviors. This authoritative work draws on ornithological research to provide essential reading for researchers, students, and enthusiasts interested in the study of birds.
