[Nhcoll-l] Mould on bird eggs

[Vanessa Pitusi]

Hi,

I have found mould on some of the dry bird eggs that we have in our collection.

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?

They will be moved into a new collection room after removing the mould.

All the best,

Vanessa
