The Bird Building Book, Vol. 5 - Bird Skeleton Assembly

The Bird Building Book, Vol. 5 --Bird Skeleton Assembly
In a way, this manual is two manuals bound together. The first part is the step by step instructions on preparing and articulating (assembling) a large bird skeleton with a section on a VERY large bird - ie., Big Bird - ie., an emu. The skeleton used for illustration is mostly an eagle skeleton but the techniques are the same for anything the size of (or larger than) a chicken or a raven - a good classroom project. The second part of the manual is a detailed guide to the bones of a bird with enough labeling and detail to be able to sort a pile of bird bones into the skeletal elements, including which side of the bird each bone came from. This is very helpful information for zooarchaeology students who are working with bird bones.
