Anatomy of a Splay
A knowledge of the different parts of each splay is essential to fully describe and understand the variations in ornithological dejecta.


The Splay as Art
Interest in well framed specimens of avian dejecta is hardly confined to those of an ornithological persuasion. In recent years, the splay has gained increasing attention within the established art community.


Splay Collecting
There are over 8,350 species of flying birds and for each of them there are something like 600 possible dietary combinations. Even when ignoring factors such as seasonal fluctuations, new synthetic foods or insecticides ‹ all of which cause excremental variations ‹ a total of 5,000,000 quite distinct types of birdsplay may now be collected on windscreens around the world at any one time.
