Wednesday 25 January 2023 Let's Talk Birds On Wednesday morning, Allan from Talk Wildlife came in and talked to us about birds. He brought in feathers, nests and replica eggs. We got to handle a tiny hummingbird egg and a huge ostrich egg. He even brought in the egg of an extinct elephant bird and it was bigger than our heads!!
