This collection consists of more than 600 specimens, some rare and significant for Sicilian ornithology, others very rare for Italy and some locally extinct or extinct at a regional and national level.
Among the most valuable specimens, the Imperial Raven stands out , the Snow Owl and the Royal Kite. Of particular interest are the sections dedicated to Eagles, Vultures and Griffons.
The specimens on display are perfectly embalmed and in excellent condition.
