A celebration to aviculture and bird conservation
 |
Welcome to Harteman WildfowlCurrently we are building a new website. New features and many new unique photographs of birds and aviculture have been added and many more will be added in the next few weeks. Please come back again soon to find out what's more! |

Aviculture and conservationThe avicultural side of conservation cannot be emphasised enough, with one of the avicultural main aims to promote sound husbandry in captive breeding and establish captive breeding programmes. This website provides appropriate information for both aviculturists and conservationists. |

Evolution and taxonomyThe first classification of birds was developed in 1676 (Willughby and Ray). Since then the classification of birds is a contentious issue. Depending on the taxonomic viewpoint, the number of known living bird species varies anywhere from 9,800 to 10,050. Harteman Wildfowl will provide a unique number of bird quality pictures from one photographer. |
 |
Gathering experienceHarteman Wildfowl will add many interactive features to its website. In this way we would like to play an important role in the avicultural world, gathering aviculturists, zoologists and conservationists to save the avian biodiversity in both aviculture and its natural habitat. |
Aviculture
Aviculture is the practice of keeping and breeding birds and the culture around it. Aviculture is generally focused on not only the raising and breeding of birds, but also on preserving avian habitat, and public awareness campaigns. Check here!

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the degree of variation of life forms within species, ecosystem, or the entire planet. To show some of the variety in wildfowl, this website will include the most diverse photographical collection of Anseriformes. What's new?

we shall save a great deal more than if
