My Bird-Collection in May 2012...

Because of the pics from Susanne with her new Bullyland flamingo's, i thought it was about time to make some new pics from my bird-collection in my vitrines, and besides that one of my pre-historic humans.
I had an empty shelf in that particular vitrine, because i did put out my croc-family(sorry Crocobert... ), i needed the room for the birds right now...)
Here are the pics:

This is SO awesome

WOW! I think you have one of the most fantastic collections of birds ever
I will surely spend a lot of time going back to look at these pictures

Thankyou very much for sharing, Willy

It is always a pleasure to watch your collection! As you know crocodiles are closer related with birds than with other reptiles. So why are they reptiles and not birds? Fortunately taxonomists are merging the 2 orders and a chicken will be a reptile or a snake a bird/ave. It is easy to me to think in a chicken as a reptile once some dinos are only huge chickens!
So next time think better what to do with your crocs!

Awesome bird collection Willy Many fantastic treasures including priceless Harriet's Hoopoe

My favorite part is the one with owls (lovely Kaiyodo owls, 4D master, Schleich Tawny Owl, and many of cute Bullyland owls , and what cutie is next to CollectA Bran owl? The AH barn owl? It's lovely! ) And I enjoy seeing so lovely pigeons, toucans, penguins, parrots and many more

And wow, I must find that Waxwing by Kaiyodo and Schleich Osprey one day (as well as the Schleich Tawny Owl )

However I can't see the spoonbills by CollectA, not yet in collection? :)

And yes, I guess crocodiles are closed related to birds then prehistoric humans are, aren't they?

What a wonderful collection of feathered friends. Congratulations on this wonderful display. It must be wonderful sitting and staring at this collection. Thanks so much for all the wonderful photos.

Awesomesauce collection there mate! Echter buutegeweun man! [Echter buitengewoon op zijn flakkees xD]

But uhm this lot is an odd collection of birds right?

It is all a matter of space my friend!
and as my bird-collection is growing the fastest, this is what i had to do, get out the crocs, and the other reptiles and amphibians were out already before that...

Ja wel aardig he Tylo...
Tja, ik had nog een plekje vrij, dus dan maar de pre-historische mensen, net achter de mensapen, past wel eigenlijk...

Willy,

What kind of eagle is the one sitting in the nest, left hand bottom corner of the eagle photo. I like him

Thx.

Wonderful set of birds Willy!! Thank you for the pictures! such a pleasure to look at them.

Hey Willy you quoted me but I didn't see a reply to it unless you forgot to xD

You know when we see something and we stay in shock like: WOOW!

I'm like that now !

Impressive
You've got a great variety of birds of prey:)
I like esp the naked one from this picture. Is it sth like sparrowhawk?

Lots of wonderful birds there Willy, thanks for sharing the photos with us. There are always so many more that I've never seen

The white falcon is a peregrine, made by Linde in the 1950's.

Thank you very much Tim, a great compliment from a great collector like you!

Fantastic collection Willy!! Really interesting looking through.

Who made the kingfisher? It looks a bit like a Kaiyodo

It is the Kaiyodo Ryuku kingfisher indeed...
