Cole Museum: Corvid Skulls

Four corvid skulls, waiting to be put away in a little box.

The skulls had been part of a temporary exhibition to illustrate the functionality of differing beak shapes in various species of bird.

It was an absolute joy to get out the boxes of bird skulls again, and to have another little look through them as I was putting away the exhibited pieces. Something as simple as seeing the skull of a heron next to the skull of a wren, so fragile that it’s kept in a sealed glass tube, was just magical.
