A Lunch-Time Feathursday

Yep, just as our header suggests -- and getting progressively more gruesome. These images are reproduced from paintings by the German wildlife artist Wilhelm Kuhnert (1865-1926) from the second volume in Brehms Tierbilder, published in Leipzig and Vienna by Bibliographisches Institut in 1913.

Shown here from top to bottom are group of non-European finches, a Eurasian Jay (Garrulus glandarius), a Eurasian Eagle-Owl (Bubo bubo), a Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), a Gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus), and a couple of Marabou Storks (Leptoptilos crumeniferus).

Bon appetit!

I’ve collected some weird vintage bird imagery, from bird hats to bird people, ghost birds to giant birds.
