"The Natural History of Cage Birds" by Johann Matthäus Bechstein is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work focuses on the care, management, habits, diet, breeding, and trapping methods of various cage birds, primarily of European origin. Bechstein, an experienced ornithologist, shares his extensive knowledge to benefit both amateurs and naturalists, reflecting his passion for and lifelong experience with birds. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of cage birds, addressing the interests of bird enthusiasts who wish to learn more about these creatures. Bechstein explains the motivation behind the text, noting the gaps in knowledge among bird keepers regarding proper treatment and identification of different species. He promises detailed sections on key aspects like housing, feeding, breeding practices, and common diseases, ensuring thus that readers can provide optimal care for their feathered companions. Additionally, he acknowledges the allure of birds not just for their melodious songs and vibrant plumage but also for their enriching presence in human life.
