I agree harlequinpan. The presentation of some of these specimens is quite poignant. I was particularly moved by the pair of Huia, bundled up, lying shoulder to shoulder with a tag wrapped around their legs. To think that no one will ever see any of these birds winging through the sky or hear them sing, is indeed sad.
