During the twentieth century there were many people who took photographs of poultry and waterfowl. However, one man perfected the art more successfully than anyone else, that man was Arthur Rice....
In those supposedly "Bad old days" of the 1930s, you sent your bird which was to be photographed by him, on the railway direct to Arthur's home... On arrival Arthur would feed the bird and get it settled down ready to be photographed to his satisfaction. It would then be replaced into its wicker hamper and returned to its owner with the invoice following in the twice-daily delivered post

Mary Dillwyn used a small camera which, since it only needed short exposures, provided her with the opportunity of taking more spontaneous photographs, often reflecting the warmth of Victorian family life. It also allowed her to photograph chickens and other animals which were unlikely to stay still for more than a fleeting moment.source
