There is a room in the museum here full of stuffed birds and drawers containing eggs, nests, droppings, etc. I had a nightmare after visiting the museum that the drawer full of worms and the one full of nests was the same, and birds' nests were actually made of worms. I was thereafter afraid of touching nests for fear that the worms would be agitated and wiggle away, leaving the birds homeless.
