2814 White-throated bee-eater

Mounted White-throated bee-eater

The stuffed white-throated bee-eater is an extraordinary piece of taxidermy that brings to life the beauty and elegance of this exotic bird. The white-throated bee-eater is native to Africa, where it lives in open savannas and on the edges of forests. It gets its name from its distinctive white throat, a feature that contrasts sharply with its bright blue and green feathers. The Latin name Merops albicollis refers specifically to this unique feature, with "albicollis" meaning "white throat."

Bee-eaters are known for their unusual diet, which, as the name suggests, consists mainly of bees and other flying insects. What makes these birds extra fascinating is their technique of first hitting bees against a branch or rock to remove the sting before eating them. This clever behavior helps them enjoy these stinging prey without difficulty.

This stuffed white-throated bee-eater has been prepared with great care and craftsmanship. The taxidermist has preserved the bird's natural pose and vibrant colors to the best of his ability, making this specimen a beautiful representation of the bird in its natural state. Its slender body and long, graceful wings are perfectly captured in this stuffed version, making it a wonderful decorative item for any avian or exotic taxidermy enthusiast.

Having a white-throated bee-eater in a collection is not only an aesthetic choice, but also offers a piece of natural history. This bird, which normally travels great distances during its annual migrations between breeding sites, is now captured forever in its full splendor. The delicate play of colors of green, blue and white makes this stuffed bird a true eye-catcher in any room.
