How about a definition for “necropsy”?

Also, when using new words in articles for my club’s newsletter, I like to find the definitions and create a “word search” or some type of matching game so people can add to their avian vocabulary. It’s educational AND fun!

Excellent suggestion, Terrie, and what a great idea about the word searches! I’m going to suggest that for the newsletter for my own club. Thanks for the comment!
