From the late 1700s until the late 1800s, governments, wealthy collectors, and large museums such as the British Museum of Natural History commonly funded expeditions around the world to procure bird’s egg specimens – the main goal being to describe and catalogue new species. These expeditions employed “field collectors” to acquire the eggs, and included many famous naturalists who also often published the results of their findings.
