  <abstract>
    <para>The Bell Museum&apos;s Bird Collection currently houses approximately 46,000 catalogued specimens. Of these, the majority are standard, dried study skin preparations, although there are approximately 3,600 skeletons, 2,500 sets of eggs and 450 nests. Many of the recent specimens (&gt; 4,000) have accompanying frozen tissue samples.</para>
