About Shauna Roberts
Shauna Roberts grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio. Her favorite memories are of digging holes in the back yard, reading on a quilt under a tree on warm summer days, and reading inside sprawled on a couch in winter. She never played with baby dolls as the other little girls did; instead she created a social structure and status hierarchy for the neighborhood troll dolls.
Shauna's love of reading was fostered by her father, who took her to the library weekly to check out books, and her aunt, who was a librarian and a successful romance novelist. She started writing stories in elementary school.
In 2009, Shauna attended the Clarion Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers’ Workshop, and in 2011, the Speculative Literature Foundation awarded her its Older Writers Grant.

This book is a scan of a 1984 dissertation on mating behavior among an unusual species of pigeon that breeds in colonies. The author researched mate choice, nest building, and other mating behaviors in a captive colony of Nicobar pigeons (Caloenas nicobarica) at the Lincoln Park Zoological Gardens in Chicago from 1980 to 1982. Her research data are supplemented by information from preceding and subsequent years. In addition, this dissertation contains a literature review of previous work on the Nicobar pigeon, an ethogram consisting of a list of Nicobar pigeon behaviors and their description, and breeding histories for all individuals who had ever reproduced. The 2012 printing sold here contains a brief update of relevant literature published after 1983.
