Extraordinary
Pigeons
by Stephen Green-Armytage
Book Description: The author and photographer who opened a glorious
window into the world of exotic birds with his hugely successful Extraordinary
Chickens and its well-received follow-up, Extraordinary Pheasants, continues
his startling photographic exploration with another singular and charming
book. The striking images in Stephen Green-Armytage's first book showed
that "the world of chickens is a world of wonders" (New York Times Book
Review). Now this arresting new volume-a look at pigeon breeds from around
the world-captures as we have never seen before the eccentric and often
surprising features of these amazing creatures.
Pigeons of all sizes, shapes, and colors parade through these pages-from
the Volga Tumbler Pigeons to the Philippine Bleeding Heart Doves (doves
are actually pigeons, just small ones), from the flamboyant Jacobins who
wear their lavish feathers like a boa, and the Pouters who puff out their
chests to absurd proportions, to the Trumpeters who sport floppy crowns
reminiscent of moptop 1960s pop groups. The astonishing color photographs,
enhanced by a brief, informative text, make this a perfect gift for birders,
breeders, animal lovers, and photography buffs alike.

Pigeons
& Doves
by David Gibbs, Eustace Barnes & John Cox
Pigeons and doves are a large family of birds occurring throughout
the world. This book-the first to be dedicated to the field identification
of these birds and to be fully illustrated in color-incorporates much recent
information about them.Many species of pigeons and doves are specialist
frugivores, say the authors, while others feed on seeds. Most are arboreal,
and the tropical species in particular are often brightly colored. The
family includes gregarious migratory species as well as shy, ground-dwelling
forms such as the exotic crowned pigeons of New Guinea. The comprehensive
text is accompanied by 76 exquisite color plates that capture the essence
of these varied birds and illustrate all species and subspecies.David Gibbs
is a freelance ecologist and naturalist. He has recently worked as a field
assistant in the production of wildlife films. The Publisher
