Nairobi National Museum



The Nairobi National Museum in Kenya has hundreds of species of stuffed birds, most of which can be found in the wild in Kenya. The following photographs were taken by Dick Daniels while on vacation in Kenya. Each image has been edited to remove background material so that only the bird is featured in the photo. Also the bird image itself may have been edited to hopefully enhance the realism of the species. May you enjoy these photos as I enjoyed my visit to the museum.
