LONDON.- Let the Natural History Museum take you under their wing as the museum embarks on an avian adventure into the wonderful world of birds. A hoot for all the family, this new exhibition invites you into their world like never before. Swirl amongst the amazing spectacle of a murmuration, immerse yourself in the dawn chorus and see if you have the stomach to sniff a stinky seabird egg.

Uncover the mind-blowing secret that the dinosaurs never truly vanished—they evolved into the birds we see today! Reveal the astonishing behaviours and adaptations that have propelled birds to succeed on every continent on Earth, from zebra finches that sing to warn their unhatched young of high temperatures, to vampire finches gorging on blood. Encounter unfamiliar species and view familiar ones in a fresh light. From seeing the world through their eyes to feeling a hummingbird’s heartbeat, join the museum for a sensory experience that will leave you awe-inspired by the diversity and ingenuity of our feathered friends.

Dr Alex Burch, Director of Public Programmes at the Museum said, “Birds really are the ultimate survivors! These seemingly familiar creatures who soundtrack Spring mornings and peck along the pavements carry with them an array of clever adaptations they have developed to secure their place on Earth. Throughout this exhibition, visitors will explore the extraordinary variety of the bird kingdom and learn the secrets of their success. We also hope that people will come away with a newfound appreciation for these great survivors.”

The perfect half term activity, witness a dazzling array of specimens from the delicate canary to the grandiose emu. Come face to face with the ancestors of modern birds and see the first T-rex jawbone to ever be discovered. As you venture through this avian wonderland you will find yourself in the larger-than-life interpretation of a bird's nest, where the marvels of its intricate architecture come to life as a mother blue tit brings you caterpillars!

Engage your senses with interactive games designed to challenge and entertain. Step into the world of corvid intelligence as you play as a clever jay on a mission to outwit its rivals. Watch intently as crows and magpies observe your every move, adding a thrilling twist to the game. Can you outsmart these crafty birds by employing tactics as cunning as those of the real jays?

Director of the Natural History Museum, Dr Doug Gurr said, “In a world where every flap of a wing tells a story, our new exhibition beckons you to join the flock and unlock the surprising secrets of avian survival. Birds are brilliant, and bizarre, and our world would be a poorer place without them. Let us ignite your curiosity and passion for the natural world, inspiring you to both marvel at the wonders of these remarkable creatures and take action to protect them, for a future where both people and planet thrive."
