"Our Domestic Birds: Elementary Lessons in Aviculture" by John H. Robinson is an educational publication written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a comprehensive resource intended to introduce readers to the principles and practices of aviculture, emphasizing the importance of domestic birds in agriculture and society. It covers various domestic bird species, their characteristics, and their management, appealing to both novice and experienced poultry keepers. The opening of the text establishes the context for aviculture's rise as a formal subject of study in schools, highlighting a growing recognition of the practical value of teaching poultry culture. The author discusses how agriculture education has expanded to include poultry, driven by a demand for practical knowledge among students.
