AN EXTINCT MALE PASSENGER PIGEON ( ECTOPISTES MIGRATORIUS) FEATHER,

a single feather, obtained from a male taxidermy mount during resorting, suspended in a membrane display frame.

the Passenger Pigeon was once so abundant that flocks of them blacked out the sky. Extinct since 1914, the passenger pigeon is one of the most famous extinct species. A rare opportunity to a fascinating piece of natural history.

Provenance: This feather originates from the collection of respected UK taxidermist Barry Williams and will be supplied with a copy of his Certificate of Authenticity.
