The museum holds the required federal and state permits authorizing it to salvage birds found dead. Preserved museum specimens serve as verifiable and permanent records, are a source of genetic material, and can used for research and education. Please follow these steps when collecting a dead bird. These birds were killed by window collisions in New Haven and salvaged by community members. Rather than simply being discarded, these birds are now part now part of the Yale Peabody Museum’s ornithological collection for research and education.
