<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here at Angers Nat. Hist. Museum (Western France), we are working on our collections before their complete relocation in a new storage building. Among all the tasks, one important is cleaning the specimens. Most of all are dusty and sometimes
dust is easy to remove sometimes it is not, it depends on the kind of the specimens. My question concerns birds nests : did some of you experiment birds nests dust off ? Some restorers tell us to wrap the nest with a net and use a vacuum. I will appreciate
your answers and your experience sharing about this.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
