Waterfowl Care and Management Books
 

COMING SOON!

We are on the brink of publishing our own: The Ultimate Pet Duck Guide Book

 


 

WARNING

We are very sorry to say, most waterfowl care guides below have unwanted chapters regarding killing. Many will also advise culling sick or injured birds instead of seeking medical treatment for them. We have yet to find one complete guide book that is fully intended for loving pet owners. Majestic highly advises that you rip out the offensive pages of these books and burn them.

In the meantime, something is better than nothing, so here are some of the limited resource books available. Once our book is published, we will pull all the books with "for table" references from this list.
