The head of Durrell’s international training centre, Jamie Copsey, with the dodo skeleton

Until the 1990s, it was displayed at the trust’s headquarters in Trinity, to which it has now been returned.

Soon to be on display with one of the last original Jerseymen…an interesting species who made the mistake of shareing it;s natural habitat with carnivorous outsiders..thus causing it’s own eventual demise….alas the warnings were not heeded and so he went the way of the DoDo.
