Authors give a sort of Monograph on Ostriches, their capture, value of their feathers and meat. There is also extensive information on the large flightless birds of South America, Australia and Papua New Guinea (Emu, kiwi, mooruk, rhea, cassowary). All in all little on the actual hunting of the birds but more on capturing them and or breeding them and their commercial applications.
