Hi Charles,, yes that is about the scale of the problem. I have
deleted your bunny-bird because the file is so big. I can search for the photo
of the composite bird I mentioned and send to you. Remember the platypus was
thought to be a concoction, so the practise was known. And why wouldn’t
taxidermists of the times create the occasional fake, just out of boredom,
humour or because part of specimens was damaged. By the way, I logged onto that
site yesterday and had to verify my log on, to send the same comment, then
could not find how to access that photo again or add comment. Philip

Intriguing it is.
Apparently there are 3 Paradise Parrot skins in this
collection. Maybe thats why they are only in collections!

identifying it?
