<div dir="ltr">Hi,</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I have found mould on some of the dry bird eggs that we have in our collection.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Is it enough to brush off the mould, change out the cotton that they rest on, and dry them out, or should they be treated in some way?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">They will be moved into a new collection room after removing the mould.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">All the best,</div>
