Yes, we have kneecaps!

Flightless cormorant skull with a sore head

Much belated post after cold and snot induced vertigo. A second time with bird skeletons in the Zoology Museum, so many more bird skeletons in the portfolio - including a flightless cormorant with a bandaged head, and an ovenbird which is decidedly legless (or bodiless) - is that oven ready?

Oven bird - oven ready?

Cassowary skeleton ... with tiny scale!

Also the fun challenge of a Cassowary and a Rhea brought in for photos - needing a huge background sheet, and standing far far away to get the bird in the photo!

But, most excitingly, I have my first confirmed bird kneecap! On a cormorant no less!

That's a kneecap!
