Summary
Description Lyre bird.jpg |
English:
Lyrebird (
Menura novaehollandiae
)
John Gould's painting is of specimens at the
British Museum
, which had been prepared for display by a taxidermist who had never seen a live Lyrebird, with the result that, unfortunately, the tail in the display is not accurate within this painting. Please check the English-language external links for photos of living Lyrebirds, to see how the tail is accurately displayed.
