New England birds on display at the Museum of Science

The Museum of Science has lots of birds in its collection, including this case of some of the birds you can find in New England, such as, of course, one of the birds first discovered by Don Featherstone in Fitchburg.

We will have no part of this
We will have no part of this atrocity.
They had a separate display for turkeys
Had two stuffed birds. One was just standing there, all lackadaisical and la-di-da, and the other clearly on the attack, its wings raised and making the average viewer glad there was a thick pane of glass between the bird and the person.
putting that flamingo there
actually impressively brilliant
Featherstone, Featherstone, Featherstone!
All that guy did was make plastic versions the lawn flamingos made of zinc or concrete that had been around for years, which is why he always said, "I copied them from National Geographic! Really! I DID!"
Look at old photos of 1940s 'modern' housing tracts and lo! Pink lawn flamingos!
Featherstone's best thing was self-promotion.
(still a very clever addition to Mass birds).
its ok
apple didn't invent the portable music player, either
Adorable!
I was just at the MoS last
I was just at the MoS last weekend and saw this as well. I unfortunately didn't have time to read up as to why it was in there. Thanks for the clarification, Adam! I had no idea about the history behind the pink flamingo hahaha

Who else fondly remembers our beloved Spooky the owl?
