Collection Bites: The Weird and Wonderful Anatomy of Birds
A close-up look at the anatomy of birds - from bones and brains to songs and senses.

About this Event

From pigeons to peregrines and robins to roosters, birds are a familiar and popular class of animals that are common across the world. But if you take a peek beneath the feathers, these awesome avians start to look at bit... odd.

With bones full of holes and oval-shaped eyes, birds have evolved many bizarre, yet effective anatomical features to help them fly, find food, and produce beautiful melodies that continue to fascinate and enchant us.

In this talk, you’ll find out everything from how birds breathe with their bones, to why dinosaurs didn’t sing, and what on earth the ‘Lateral Magnocelluar nucleus of the Anterior Nidopallium’ could possibly be for!

So join us for this exclusive deep-dive into avian anatomy, as well as a chance to see some of our extensive bird collections up close in the October edition of Collection Bites!


Collection Bites is an adult programme, however the content is suitable for all ages. The talks are approx. 30 minutes. They take place on the first Wednesday of each month in Manchester Museum's Research Studio on the Second Floor (accessible by stairs or lift).
