Dodo in the Natural History Museum

This is the specimen that inspired Lewis Carroll. Like all mounted dodo specimens, it is mostly not a dodo specimen. Probably only the bill and feet are genuine dodo material. The rest is chicken feathers, wire-mesh, and stuffing. Only bits and pieces of real dodos survive.
