About this book

Language: German

Zoo visitors know well the toucan, the interesting, colourful birds from the tropical forests, whose giant beak often reaches almost the length of the body. But little is known about the origin and way of life of these birds. This book is a contribution from the well-known, but unfortunately prematurely deceased ornithologist Hans von Boetticher who introduces everything concerning this group of birds with his typical thoroughness. We get to know the habitat, the looks and the way of life of the different forms. A special section is dedicated to the keeping, care and feeding of toucans in captivity. To every bird lover, especially to every breeder, this book will be a welcome helper in the care of toucans and aracaris and an extension of the knowledge of this exotic group of birds.

Summary in German:
Zoobesucher kennen wohl die interessanten, farbenprächtigen Vögel aus den tropischen Wäldern, deren Riesenschnabel oft beinahe die Länge des Körpers erreicht. Aber über Herkunft und Lebensweise dieser Vögel ist im allgemeinen wenig bekannt. Es ist deshalb ein Verdienst des bekannten, leider zu früh verstorbenen Ornithologen Dr. Hans von Boetticher mit der ihm eigenen Gründlichkeit in alles eingeführt zu werden, was die Vogelgruppe betrifft. Wir lernen die Heimat, das Aussehen und die Lebensweise der verschiedenen Formen kennen. Ein besonderer Abschnitt ist der Haltung, Pflege und Fütterung der Pfefferfesser in der Gefangenschaft gewidmet. Jedem Vogelfreund, vor allem jedem Züchter, wird das Buch ein willkommener Helfer bei der Pflege der Tukane und Arassaris und eine Erweiterung des Wissens um diese exotische Vogelgruppe sein.
