Julius Caesar said that Britons 'thought it wrong to partake of
hare, cockerel, or geese, but they keep these instead for reasons
of affection and pleasure'. Throughout our history we have
certainly admired birds and envied their brilliant plumage and
ability to fly and we have a long and ongoing history of keeping
all manner of birds for their beauty and companionship. The Garden
Aviary shines a spotlight on the aviaries of private gardens and
public parks. It will appeal to those interested in the social and
cultural history of bird keeping or the history of garden
buildings. Illustrated with examples of aviaries both grand and
humble, this is an exploration of the garden aviary built as status
symbol or as a tool for conservation and the preservation of
genetic diversity, but primarily, as Caesar thought, for reasons of
affection and pleasure.
