About The Book: The Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds is a seminal three-volume work by Allan Octavian Hume, published in the late 19th century. It offers a detailed catalog of the nests and eggs of numerous bird species across India. Through meticulous observations during his travels and correspondence with other naturalists, Hume documented the nesting habits, egg sizes, colors, and markings of Indian birds. This groundbreaking work greatly advanced ornithology, particularly the study of avian reproduction in India. The three volumes remain a vital reference for ornithologists and bird enthusiasts, contributing significantly to the understanding of Indian avifauna.
