About the Book

The red-billed quelea is the world's most numerous bird and a destructive bird pest which lays waste to cereal crops - millet, rice, wheat and sorghum - in many parts of Africa. Although hundreds of millions of quelea are killed every year, the species remains as abundant as ever. This study gives an account of all aspects of quelea ecology and management, its distribution, population, migration patterns and breeding behaviour, monitoring, marking and methods of control.
