Birds in the Archive and Museum

In 2021, to celebrate the 100th birthday of the Estonian Ornithological Society, we started collecting examples of how birds have flown from their natural environments to our memory and research institutions. For this, we ask libraries, archives, museums and all others to send us interesting birds and their stories from their collections. Can we get to 100 birds? Or maybe even to 393 birds, as many as there are in Estonia?
