I took these pics at the Natural History Museum in Washington DC.  Lower level has some neglected, really pathetic, shameful, dusty, horrible mounts of some amazing birds.  It almost made me cry to see those magnificient birds in such a neglected state.

These are all North American Birds. 

Heath Hen (Now Extinct)



Carolina Parakeet (Now Extinct)



Passenger Pigeon Pair (Now Extinct)

Nice pictures, they are not so nice stuffed, maybe a good taxidermist can contact the museum an make something nice of them.
I love the Caroline parakeet, shall i ask them to send it to me, so that i can restuffed it again. The only problem will be sending it back to them, i think i keep it for my own collection
