Was he shot for that?

We have a Dodo in the Kelvingrove Museum -it was a big bird!

To be fair it wasn't all bad, he did send the keeper the wrong way.

...unfortunately, he sent the ball the wrong way as well.

Is it a real Dodo OC or just a model?

On checking chalky it’s a half size model, there’s a real one in Oxford I gather as they did a DoDo tour with it in 2015.


There is a stuffed Great Auk which is also extinct.

If you haven’t been its an amazing place for families with a Spitfire, Elephant, Mummies, paintings van Gogh's Dali!s and organ recitals at 1pm every day
This is one hall.

Thanks for that OC,it was a bit of a surprise when I read what you wrote about it being an amazing place for families with a Spitfire until I reread it
I've always visualize Dodos as being the same size a duck but as you say they was big birds,I would love to see one (nota model) but I thought that as they had all died out in the 18th century (?) then there wouldn't be any stuffed ones in existence, I'm not normally a fan of taxidermy but then again im not going to see one down my local duck pond either

Here we do not have the Dodo , just pelicans.

I had to google your username to try and suss out where 'here' was,do you live in the Philippines or just a good area of Burnley?
It must be great to have such magnificent birds flying free around you

This is the one (or part of 1) in Oxford University seems it’s the largest surviving bit of one.
