TextPublication details: New Delhi, IN: Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre, 1957.Description: 38 p. : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: More than ten different types of artificial breeding sites are used in the Soviet Union for luring wild ducks. But apparently none of them can be regarded as equally suitable for all the species of ducks and economically advantageous for all the regions of the Soviet Union. Those species of ducks which usually nest in the hollows of old trees, like for example, the golden-eyes, goosander and smew occupy wooden breeding sites (wild-tree hives and boxes similar to them, of the type of those used for starlings). Far-eastern mandarin ducks (Aix galoriculata L.)also will undoubtedly nest in them. Therefore, these sites can produce maximum effect chiefly in places where the ducks-hive-dwellers live,that is, in the forest and forest-steppe zones of the U.S.S.R.
