Birds are divided into three groups: raptorial land birds (Uccelli terrestri rapaci), other land birds (Uccelli terrestri non rapaci), and waterbirds (Uccelli aquatici). Each oological plate illustrated from one to nine eggs representing 106 species altogether. The specimens illustrated are from Ginanni's own museum piccolo Museo di cose naturali.
