Birds

This morning the intranet informed me that there is a behind the scenes special about the Natural History Museum's Ornithology department on the BBC website. Videos include information about penguins, warblers, the dodo and Darwin's pigeons.

The dodo skeleton is cool.
Sexy smelling petrel woman is a bit weird, though. ;o)

Heh did you know that there are no intact dodos in existence? The last one was chucked into a fireplace. The "taxidermied" models we have at the museum are fake.

No, I didn't, actually. So it truly is extinct.
