As I gaze out at my favourite birds, I wonder what role their parasites have played in shaping their fascinating behaviours and alluring appearance.\" -- From Chapter 1 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn The Flying Zoo, Michael Stock gives readers an enthusiastic tribute to birds and the parasites that live in and on them. From the Crozet Archipelago and the Galapagos Islands to our own backyards, parasites--fleas, lice, ticks, and flukes--live in a sinister yet symbiotic relationship with their host birds. With a scientist's exuberance, Stock reveals a co-evolutionary dance among an astounding cast of creatures living in a complex and paradoxical co-habitation. Following in the footsteps of Fleas, Flukes and Cuckoos, this contemporary classic deserves a place on the shelves of students and teachers of biology, natural history buffs, and birders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Stock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772123749\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772123746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alberta Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Michael Stock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065810727167,"sku":"9781772123746","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30ed4002-7792-4da2-90ae-5564fabd694b.jpg?v=1768677434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-flying-zoo-michael-stock-9781772123746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
