<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For those of you who care for a collection of bird nests, I am curious if there is any advice on the best ways to store nests. We have an extensive collection that has never been stored, as most of the nests
were on display for over 50 years, and I am now contemplating the best methods of storage now that they are no longer on display. I am planning to have them on trays in cabinets, but I worry that putting them in boxes may cause deformation to the nest shape
over time. However, I would still like to provide support for and division between nests while not taking up an excess of space. I was considering using ethafoam ring mounts, as suggested by our curator of anthropology who uses them for ollas.
