An online exhibition from Manchester Museum telling the stories of eight extinct or endangered birds kept in its stores, rather than on show in the galleries. You follow each bird's journey from where it was collected, then turn it around in 3D to look at its colours up close, alongside artwork by young Manchester artists. It's a good one for curious older children to explore at home on a rainy afternoon.
