A bird is killed by a fast bowler’s delivery at Lord’s Cricket Ground in 1936, and the ball involved is later preserved with the bird. The bird is stuffed and mounted on the same ball, which is now displayed in the MCC Museum.
The reports place the incident within the broader history of Lord’s, which opens in 1814 and is described as a landmark cricket venue in St John’s Wood, London. While the accounts focus on the specific museum display and its origin in the 1936 incident, they provide limited additional detail about the match or the circumstances surrounding the delivery. Across the sources, the central, agreed facts are the location (Lord’s), the year (1936), the presence of an Indian fast bowler, and the preservation of the stuffed bird attached to the ball for museum viewing.
